Hillary Clinton: The All American Presidential Candidate

Hillary Clinton has been much more than a dedicated public servant during her political career.  And it was demonstrated in her concession speech on Wednesday, the day after the election.  She was not only gracious at a time of disappointment, she asked her supporters to give Donald Trump a chance to lead.  She also reminded her supporters that their dreams are still alive and should continue in the future.

Although Clinton did not reach the needed 270 electoral votes to win the Presidency, she did win the popular vote according to the latest released numbers.  So she not only ended her Presidential campaign a winner, she ended it in style with a concession speech of civility without a hint of threats.  The moral high ground was on Clinton's side in this election and the majority of the voters confirmed that with their vote.

Hillary's concession speech also confirmed she had the temperament that is needed to be President and Commander in Chief.  She put America first, which is one reason she was a successful public servant.  America lost the President of its people's choice on November 8, but Hillary Clinton stands tall as a true All American.

HAPPY 241st. BIRTHDAY TO THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS.

Happy Birthday to my fellow Marines and to all who wore the eagle, globe and anchor where ever you may be, especially those Marines who are serving in harms way.  We wish all a safe return home to family and loved ones.  Two hundred and forty one years have passed and Marines still share the basic tenet of duty, honor and commitment.

The Marines motto Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful, shaped our discipline and commitment to the Corps, our brother Marines, our country and will always be there.  And no matter the cause, the time, the day or the place we are THE FEW, THE PROUD, THE MARINES.  May the Supreme Commandant continue to watch over our beloved Corps.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES
