LETTER: Independent voter

I have voted for both liberal and conservative candidates, those that I believe will and have served we the people the best.

I am a combat veteran of the Korean War, I served in 1952 and 1953.

I have been in a country where war was fought and I have seen what happens to the civilian population, the suffering and the death.

I would not want any war to be here in the U.S.

One of the greatest threats that we could have is to have a war here in the U.S.

What we the people will always need to defend ourselves is the strongest and best military that we can have.

We need a president that has the kind of leadership necessary to prevent war from happening here.

I am not fond of Trump and his personal attitude, but I believe he is the candidate that can protect us.
