This year my vote honors my niece, who just started kindergarten. Sweetie, I wish you wouldn’t have cried when you saw my little brother talking to his friend, who was in a National Guard uniform.  It doesn’t mean they are taking him away for a fourth deployment. We now realize how much these wars have affected you. This year I will vote in honor of you. I will vote with hope for your future. I know that you are not officially a vet, but you stand in the shadow my little brother, Sgt David Bonnifield.
