Hilarious video; a must-see-A link to this video was in his Veteran’s Day Message sent out this morning by his campaign- read it - What Veterans Day Means To Me
Did you catch the guy reading “Tandem Jumping for Dummies” and checking his chute? OMG it’s just comical…and that deadpan delivery…he gets up and talks and looks as cool and calm as he did at the gubernatorial debates….except for the jumpsuit.
Well guys, I don’t think twinkletoes “hold the line on taxes” Adam GovernorTM can hold a candle to Proft in my mind now….this was definitely the clincher–he writes:
Consider Operation Homefront-Illinois
Over the last couple of years, I have had the privilege to serve on the board of Operation Homefront-Illinois. Operation Homefront is a national non-profit with 30 state chapters that serves active duty military families with a spouse overseas and wounded warriors coming home. I currently serve as the Board Chairman of the Illinois chapter.
Our niche in the constellation of exceptional charities that serve military families is to provide tangible constituent service to Illinois servicemen and their families. We’ll get a leaky roof repaired, replace a broken water heater, pay a cell phone bill, get the transmission replaced in the family car: the exigencies of everyday life that many of us take for granted but present urgent challenges to military families.
Working with Homefront has been both an uplifting and a frustrating experience. The uplifting part is the toughness of military families who sacrifice so much and desire very little in return. The uplifting part is seeing volunteers come forward to help organize and run events like our Back-to-School Backpack Brigade program where we distribute school supplies to children of active duty military in Illinois.
The frustrating part has been to witness the struggles military families have in Illinois, particularly when those struggles come as the direct result of political leaders at the state and federal level who fail to keep our promises to our veterans. We want to do more.
I would invite you to learn more about Operation Homefront-Illinois by visiting: www.operationhomefront.net/illinois.
We cannot content ourselves to remember our veterans solely on holidays. Please consider getting involved to support Operation Homefront-Illinois, your local VFW post or American Legion hall, or another organization that serves our military families in your community.
What a guy.
