Despite having to be in California for Election Day I made the most of the opportunity. I drove my truck to the polls, clad in the GA State Flag [><] and a Bush/Cheney sticker next to the one with the phrase seen in my sig. Above that were the NRA seal and a sticker exclaiming my insurance policy is backed up by Sturm, Ruger & Company. I got out, dressed in my Army BDU's and holding my wife’s hand as she walked in to cast her vote for "Freedom First". I made sure my voice was heard loud and clear having cast my absentee ballot in GA several weeks before. As you can imagine, we turned several heads in the parking lot. Despite the outcome of this election with all it's discrepancies and inevitable backlash, I am proud to have the opportunity to vote and prouder still for the chance to serve in defense of our right to do so.
