“Love is the most powerful thing. It's what we in Hawaii call aloha—love, respect, and compassion for one another. It's not just a feeling. It's not weak or passive. It's a powerful force that motivates us to take action, to stand up for what's right, to fight for our freedom. Love for others, and for our country, is what motivates me to serve. It's what motivates my brothers and sisters in uniform to put our lives on the line to defend the security and freedom of the American people.

That love is what gives each and every one of us the courage to speak the truth, especially in the face of adversity, threats, and criticism.

It gives us the strength to fight for what's right and the humility to forgive those who've wronged us, overcome our differences, and move forward.”

“What we are not volunteering for is to serve as cannon fodder to fuel the profits of the military-industrial complex. We are not volunteering to be used by insecure politicians who feel the need to start wars and put us in harm’s way just to make themselves feel strong or look tough. We are not volunteering to be used as expendable pawns feeding the insatiable hunger for power and global domination of American politicians who don’t care about our Constitution, our country, or the American people.”
