Something about JD Vance’s path to becoming a United States Marine, and what being a veteran means to me.
He grew up in the small town of Middletown, Ohio.
Middletown was once an industrial powerhouse, but thanks to the unfair trade deals signed by our “leaders” in DC, the people of Middletown were left behind.
Like most of the enlisted Marines he served with, he joined the military to serve my country. It was also a way for a kid from a poor family to achieve the American Dream.
When he got off the bus and stepped on the yellow footprints at Marine Corps Recruit Training, I honestly didn’t know what I was getting into.
But when his Drill Instructor handed him his Eagle, Globe, and Anchor and I earned the title of United States Marine, it was one of the proudest moments of his life.
