What a great effort on your part!

There are too many people that don’t challenge the system and if they would do as you have done, they would find their efforts rewarded.

In challenging the system, it is worthwhile to ask for an explanation to your request or concern in writing so that you may send a copy to your elected representatives and always ask for the person’s name to who you spoke to be on that document.

Bureaucrats don’t like paper trails that are made public when it makes them look bad. There are many well meaning bureaucrats that will applaud your efforts as well, for they have to follow the orders that some moron has ask them to do.

Who better to lead efforts like this other than our veterans.

Today Alex went to the DMV to renew his license. When he was told to go have his picture taken he noticed that there were some men having their picture taken, these men were wearing turbans on their heads. Alex was asked to take his hat off to have his picture taken. He said “no”, and “no” again when asked the second time. When he was asked why he would not remove his hat he said, “those men didn’t remove their head wear, I shouldn’t either”. It was explained that this was their attire and their religion. Alex told the DMV person that what he had on was his attire and when he entered the Marines he declared an oath to the USA, and one nation under God, so that his oath was under God so just as good as his religion. Well, the DMV people didn’t know what to do, they spoke to supervisors and called Sacramento. Alex was told, after an hour, that he could wear his hat for the picture and if there were any problems they would let him know and he could appeal their decision. He told them if there was a problem he WILL appeal it. Alex feels no one has more right to display their head gear then a Veteran or active service person. When he left several employees at the DMV clapped quietly for him. He has spoken to few other Veterans and they plan to do the same. God Bless America and the U.S. Marine Corps. It’s about damn time we as Americans start standing up for our rights.

There were many Vietnam veterans and one WWII veteran that made this all happen.

I have visited the Hanoi Hilton where you were held prisoner along with many others and have the greatest respect for combat soldiers of all eras and especially those held as prisoners of war!

A person has to be pretty hardened to hear the story about how prisoners of war are treated and not shed a tear.

When I visited Vietnam and listened to the Vietnamese person speaking about how the French treated and tortured the Vietnamese that opposed the French occupation of Vietnam you have to ask the question “How could any human being be so cruel and how were our American prisoners of war been treated by the Vietnamese?”

Senator McCain, we have contacted your office many times about the filthy condition of the three Arizona veterans highways and have received no response. I hope you could take some interest in seeing that these memorial highways get the attention they deserve.

Because I don’t choose to make this a political plea, I have ask for the same effort from Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick who has taken the time to recognize the “America the Beautiful & BagReadyJobs” effort that was started in Arizona.

It is my hope that those that support either of the candidates send this posting to them for the benefit of all of America’s veterans. Congressman Paul Gosar has also recognized this effort and even participates in ADOT Adopt-A-Highway cleanups. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey’s office has also recognized this effort, will you join them in this effort?
