To the editor:
I am a veteran with 32 honorable years service to my country. I gave my blood and sweat, literally and figuratively, to protect our Constitution, freedom and American values. There are 58,000 names of my comrades engraved on a black granite wall in Washington, D.C. These men and women paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country, while Donald Trump bought not one, not two, not three but five deferments to avoid Vietnam.
As a veteran, I feel my supporting Donald Trump would dishonor those whose names are listed on that wall.
