Dear Kids,
I am a grandpa and military veteran. Millions of service members fought and thousands died to protect the U.S. Constitution.
The U.S. Constitution is powerful. The right to vote is so important. Unfortunately only about 50% of …Americans take the time to exercise this cherished right.

Best to all of you. Have a great summer.
Remember to eat the right foods and exercise daily.
