More Than 700 Current and Former National Security Officials Back Harris
A letter signed by former secretaries of state and defense endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and said former President Donald J. Trump poses a threat to the nation’s defense and its democratic system ~ New York Times
We were fortunate to have Lieutenant General Richard L. Kelly, USMC (Ret) at our recent membership meeting where he updated us on the work of  National Security Leaders for America (nsl4a), and his thoughts on being a signatory on NSL4A’s latest LTE to the New York Times: “I have been a member of the bipartisan National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A) since 2020 and am very engaged with our organization’s support of the campaign to defeat Donald Trump. The present circumstances represent a particularly fraught moment in our nation’s history. I don’t regard this election as a choice between the Democratic or Republican parties. This election is a moral choice, one where the entire American experiment is at risk. Some say that retired senior military personnel should not take a public political stance. I say nonsense; all Americans should have an active, informed role in the electoral process. It’s a duty of citizenship and part of the civic life of our nation.” Read Letter and More Info HERE.
