I have something I want everyone who's served or who has had family serve to know before they cast their votes: Donald Trump has an alarming pattern of disrespect towards our military. He's attacked a Gold Star family. He equated a Medal of Freedom given to one of his wealthy donors to the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest military decoration. He's used Arlington Cemetery for a campaign photo op. He called fallen soldiers "losers" and "suckers." And he said John McCain, who spent over 5 years in a Vietnamese prison camp, wasn't a war hero because, as he put it, "I like people who weren't captured." It's almost like it's Donald Trump's second nature to have contempt for our men and women in uniform. Perhaps it's because he's spent his whole life thinking military service was beneath him. All I know is hundreds of former military leaders are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump. These are people who usually go out of their way to avoid electoral politics, but they've seen firsthand the threat Trump poses to our democracy and national security. We have just a few weeks to ensure every pro-democracy voter – especially those from military families – understands what's at stake on November 5. We need your help to reach them before it's too late. Will you chip in to fund our outreach to pro-democracy voters in battleground states? Your support will help us share the truth about Trump's record, amplify the voices of military leaders speaking out, and mobilize those who truly value our democracy.
