What We Represent

As military veterans, we deeply understand the need for leadership that reflects the inherent values of our nation and propels us responsibly forward. Our principles never waiver and guide us in supporting the right candidates ready to lead our nation.

Civility

We believe that America benefits from respectful discourse. Civility is necessary for a functioning democracy where ideas are communicated and fairly debated.

Service

We believe that elected officials serve the people. Americans deserve thoughtful leaders who thoroughly consider the impact of their decisions and actions.

Integrity

We believe that America deserves leaders who put principle before ambition. Our national interest requires honesty.

Optimism

We believe that America’s best days are yet to come. Together we can overcome the divisions and cynicism threatening our republic.

Strength

America must have an engaged, active presence in the world and remain a global leader. We are stronger abroad when united at home.

From Twitter

Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the government nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

- Abraham Lincoln
