Jeb Bush Campaign Press Release - What These Medal of Honor Recipients Want in a Commander-in-Chief

"We were completely surrounded. 160 Marines locking heads with 15,000 North Vietnamese. 40 hours with no sleep, fighting hand—to—hand. Right now, this nation hungers for leadership. We've almost gone backwards where we should be going forward…And I think, Jeb Bush will push it forward. I want this nation to be the best nation in the world like it used to be. We need Jeb Bush, we really do." Jay Vargas, Colonel U.S. Marine Corps Retired

"I turned around to check on my guys and there was a pineapple grenade right behind them. I reached over to grab the grenade and as I threw it, I opened my hand to release it and it exploded…Jeb Bush is ready to take the role of commander in chief and make the hard decisions to push us into the future." Leroy A. Petry, Master Sergeant U.S. Army Retired

"When we join the military, we fill out a check and we say, pay to the order of up to and including my life…We need to elect a strong president who understands the value of freedom. Jeb Bush will be a strong president. He will rebuild our military and make us proud to be Americans. We know what he stands for and that's critical." Leo K. Thorsness, Colonel U.S. Air Force Retired

"This is no reality show. This is serious business. This is about the livelihood of our kids and grandkids. This commander-in-chief requires training wheels. We need someone who believes in those serving in uniform and gives them the capability to get the job done. Someone who has the experience, has a background, has the integrity, and has those leadership skills…Jeb Bush will be a very inspirational commander-in-chief. He represents the beliefs of this country." James Livingston, Major General U.S. Marine Corps Retired
