Letters: Don't waste vote on Trump

ISSUE | CAMPAIGN 2016 A wasted vote I did not serve in the military. I did not lose a son or daughter who did. I am at an age when I can recognize that I am not erudite or wise enough to describe or understand what that might be like, and that I won't last the years required to learn. But I have learned this much: Bereft families do not stand over the graves of their fallen telling them that they wasted their time.

ISSUE | CAMPAIGN 2016

A wasted vote

I did not serve in the military. I did not lose a son or daughter who did. I am at an age when I can recognize that I am not erudite or wise enough to describe or understand what that might be like, and that I won't last the years required to learn. But I have learned this much: Bereft families do not stand over the graves of their fallen telling them that they wasted their time.

Come November, we will all be called to serve. Forget Hillary Clinton and every other white-noise name you see. There is only one name that matters.

On Election Day, close your eyes and imagine that you are the one standing over a fallen son's or daughter's grave. Open your eyes and see him or her standing proudly with Washington and Lincoln. Look him or her in the eye and say that the fight for America wasn't worth it.

If you really believe it wasn't worth it, then vote for Donald Trump.
