My Cousin Scott is EOD and was embedded with a SEAL team in Raqqa, Syria. Scott is a badass, from the time he was a kid. He's as
accurate with a Bow as he is with a gun. He also has the heart, ability, brains and courage to defuse bombs, and made it through some of the hardest Special Op training on earth. 75% of EOD trainees fail. Scott was top of his class. Roughly four years ago there was an accident...
Scotty was with his team leader Kenton Stacy, they were training some Syrians and one of them set off an IED. Kenton Stacy was severely injured. The medic said "He's done, let's go" Scott felt a pulse and MADE the medic deal with Kenton. Scott didn't leave his side, was with him
until they got to San Antonio. Scott calls me, "Hey, can you come out here." He sounded like a much older Scott. So I went, I love this kid and he had no idea how to deal with what happened. How could you? His friend, his leader, was hurt, bad. Kenton Stacy is the best of us,...
..., Kenton is a leader in one of the highest level Special Ops Groups. When the explosion happened Kentons vocal chords were severed, He's paralyzed and he's lost sight in one eye. Kenton will need care for the rest of his life. On top of that he has his amazing wife Lindsey...
who is dealing with a grievously injured husband and four kids under the age of 12, one who has cerebral palsy. Out in San Antonio, I saw a man decimated, a family devastated and Scotty trying to keep it together, fighting to hold his friends family together. We forget that...
Every soldier has a family, a mother and a father, siblings, friends, spouses. Our soldiers sign up to train, travel, live in the worst places on earth, be the targets of terror and sacrifice themselves to possibly be killed, all for crap pay. That's what patriots do. Losers?
Kenton Stacy and his family ALL of them have sacrificed for this country. When Scott left Raqqa, Raqqa didn't leave Scott. What he saw and what he did will always be with him. I'll leave it there. Kenton, Scott and all of our military members service is a gift to us...
Our soldiers make it so we can live the life of ease we are blessed with. While they and their families deal with months, years apart, Injuries and psychological damage. They believe in something bigger than themselves. And our President calls them "Losers,Suckers"
Maddening.
Maddening.
Please share your story about your military family, lets let the man who can't walk down a ramp, a man who dissed a gold star family, let him know that the people he called, "Losers and Suckers" are gonna make sure he walks his ass out of the White House when he loses in November
