I enlisted in the Army after college in 1983. I spent six years in and then spent 26 years as a DoD civilian. I spent 16 months in Iraq and Afghanistan providing direct support. When I retired I became a teacher. I stand with Tim Walz. #VetsForVPWalz @commondefense

I’m going to keep repeating this: In the late 1950s after Brown v BOE, white parents took their kids out of public schools to avoid desegregation. After 70 years, they figured out a way to get the government to pay for it. It’s that simple.
