Defense Meritorious Service Medal. Meritorious Service Medals. Joint Service Commendation Medal. Years of service to this country and to our allies. You can agree or disagree with his protest. That’s your right. But rewriting his record, questioning his patriotism, or pretending he hasn’t devoted much of his adult life to serving the United States would be a lie. His service happened. His sacrifices happened. His character was built long before today’s headlines. We should support his purpose.
