Veterans

The uniform still comes first

Fourteen years in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, 1996–2013. National defense stays funded. The people who wore the uniform are not a talking point.

Marine Corps Reserve

Michael Gist served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1996 to 2013. Seabreeze High School. National University, 2002. A citation from the Naval War College, 2005.

Core federal functions stay funded as they are: national defense, security operations, Homeland Security, interstate commerce, and federal law enforcement. Ineffective social spending is what gets redirected into Freedom Accounts — not the rifle, the ship, or the watchstander.

Veterans, families, and small businesses are why this campaign exists. Ownership is how you keep faith with people who already gave.
