“Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:” Psalm 144:1

I knew I was going to be a Marine from my earliest days. My father who wasn’t around had an influence as my mother dressed my brother and me in little uniforms that she would get from the PX. My Grandfather fought in WWI. Then there were my mother’s brothers, my uncles. Two of them Served in WWII, and the remainder served in Korea. My Uncles were real life heroes to me, and I wanted to be like them. My father served three tours in Vietnam. One of my older cousin’s served in Vietnam, and another Cousin was a Naval Aviator, a radar man on P3 Orion. My wife Janice had a Grandfather who fought in WWI, her Father served in WWII, and her brother was in the Army in Vietnam.

Then there is why “I did not serve.” I didn’t serve so that America could abort her children. I didn’t serve so that the family and Church would be destroyed. I didn’t serve so that homosexuals could prance around naked, molest children and pretend they are married. I did not serve so that criminal meatheads and BLM mobs would disrespect the flag, the national anthem and ruin people’s lives. I did not serve so that Judges could dismantle our heritage. I didn’t not serve, so that Bill Clinton, Barak Hussein Obama and China Joe Biden could occupy the White House. I did not serve so that the GOP would cave into the left, time and time again. Mr. Theiss adds, “I hate all abortions, homosexuality, Communism, Satanism, Radical Islam and the horrible influence that the Clintons and Obamas have had on our Nation.”

Why did I serve? Two main reasons, one was the fog Americans had about the “troops not being able to fight.” I got into many fights in school, and I thought, I know how to fight. The idea that Americans could not fight was false and repugnant to me. The second reason was the Ayatollah Khomeini. I wanted to fight these people on their turf, so they wouldn’t bring their Islamic ways over here. I didn’t want my family buying groceries, only to have the store blown up. I didn’t want the rapes, forced marriages, stoning and beheadings in my country. When a recruiter said we will probably be at war with Iran, I said, “I will be going with you.”

I became a Christian at 19, at my last duty station after deployment. Mr. Thiess says he became a Christian after his deployment at 21. To be sure, over the decades of personal study, we have obtained a Biblical and Constitutional education that we did not have as younger men. Still, the basic ideas were there. Today there are some veterans with no hope, lost, and suicidal because they have no code. Namely more and more of them are not Christian, but atheists, Muslims or occultists. Many of them think America should be a socialist state.

Party member George Theiss, who served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam wrote, “My paternal grandfather (of German descent on his father's side-his mother was Irish) fought the Germans in WWI in France (7th Infantry--the Bayonet Division). His son (my Dad) served in the Pacific in WWII. My Dad's younger brother (my uncle) got called back in during the Korean War. Like you, I got into a lot of

If you are a veteran, no matter your views or where you served: thank you for your service. If you think the same way as we do, I would ask to join the Constitution Party of Wisconsin. We mean to Restore the Republic, and if you fought for the flag, and “the Republic for which it stands” we would want to work with you.
