I am the father of Kelly.  I am retired from the Air Force, Vietnam Veteran, totally disabled, with 44 decorations and awards, and I am heavily involved in community volunteer activities.  I am a past Commander of VFW Posts.  I have volunteered in hospitals for many years while accruing thousands of hours of service and for 18 years performed funeral services for veterans at national and local cemeteries, ceremonies that now number in the hundreds if not thousands.  Additionally, I maintain a nationally number one ranked veterans support website and write a newspaper to better inform our veterans about ongoing programs to help them.  My daughter and her husband are school teachers and highly respected members of their community.  Nearly every male member of my family throughout history has served our country in uniform, many as a career opportunity.  We are an honorable family who love and defend our country.

I am proud of my son and his heroic service in the military.  This conviction is without merit and is a total insult to the military and American justice systems.  I ask you to send letters to your congressman, military leaders, or anyone else of importance that can demand an immediate review of this travesty.

I also ask you to donate and help us.  Go to this link to learn more.  Click here.
