Your heartrending comments hit me hard. I’ve often felt like I was the only one, with different reasons. My dad was killed in an AF crash in Canada in 61 returning to Ellington from Alaska dropping the Airborne. My mother was the abusive one. 9 years later I made my fire 3 a/c exits at Benning out of the same type a/c. I have long admired your work, you’re a driven man. Thanks for a very needed cathartic moment. Drive on Sir.

Wow Seth, I need to quit reading your emails at work. It gets me too teary eyed. Your words strike a chord in many ways. I also love your father's statement, "Son, I didn’t serve three f***ing tours in Vietnam for my son to be afraid of a bunch of stone-age, camel herding savages." Thank you for all the work you have done in this election fiasco. The fight is still on, and I'm glad you're here on our side.

Seth, I was blessed to have an entirely different father, but I know well more than one man who had a similar experience as you did with your dad. God bless you for having eventually been given the gift of knowing he loved you. Please keep sharing your love of country with us.
