Veterans and Senior Citizens

We would not be here today if it was not for our family members who came before us and protected the rights and freedoms of this great nation, the United States of America. Both of my grandfathers, Theron Nunn and Hoyt Walker, fought in World War II. They bought spent four years in foreign lands, getting shot at and also having to shoot back. I am privileged to have a few items which they brought home from the war that I have now been entrusted with. My uncle, John Ray Farmer and my Dad, Edward Walker both served in the Alabama National Guard reserve until retiring, Dad being a Sergeant Major with the 1151st engineering unit at Fort McClellan. Dad has been deployed upon multiple occasions to Germany and South America while still owning and maintaining a business in Talladega, Alabama. I SUPPORT OUR VETERANS!!! If you have any doubt, read what proceeds this sentence again. We need to have Senators who support our men and women of uniform. They need to make sure their retirement is maintained, medical care is given, housing is provided for those who have given everything for us, treatment is provided for PTSD victims, and their insurance is maintained at a satisfactory level.

We are now the children of the Bay Boomers Generation. It was from 1946 to 1964. Our parents are now from 60 to 79 years old. They provided one of the greatest generations of hard working Americans that ever was. Now they are the age of Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, or very expensive Insurance. Now it is our turn to take care of them. As your Senator, I want to make sure the people have retirement homes, they have food to eat, power and water in their homes, and affordable insurance in their time of sickness. It is our job as the leaders to provide a good environment for those who are now the age of senior citizens. We must not forget all they have done for us.
