A message from Zahid, shared by his wife, Melissa, to all of us, reminds me why I joined Veterans For Peace —to stand in solidarity with veterans like him. “I’m an Honorable, decorated, disabled US Army veteran in a wheelchair. I swore to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. If this is what my country can do to me, no veteran is safe.” “We must love our country enough to take a stand for courage and moral principle, that our government should not do anything unconstitutional to any one of us. Not based on race, religion, language, country of origin… to no one. “The Constitution, that I swore the soldier’s oath to protect and defend, is the glue that keeps us together. It’s the foundation we stand on, as a nation and as people. If the Constitution falls apart - or gets torn apart - everything falls apart.” “Now is the time for courage. Now is the time for solidarity. Now is the time to decide what America means to us and to stand for liberty and justice for ALL before it’s too late.” -----Zahid Chaudhry - Read more on Melissa Chaudhry’s Substack. Michael T.
