When I was a Marine fighting in Iraq, I understood that every time I went on a raid or patrol, I was fighting to empower the government of Iraq, what comes next gets harder. When young Americans start losing lives and we start having conflicts in the airspace with Russia, this is going to get more complicated quickly. That is why we need to have a clear strategy from the President.

Diplomacy should always be our first option. Most politicians only talk, not fight. I’ve fought; talking is far better than fighting.

The late Rev. Peter Gomes at The Memorial Church at Harvard was a true mentor to me when I was in college. He instilled in me a commitment to service, saying that it's not enough to believe in service, or support those who serve - you ought to find a way yourself to serve. When I looked at different options after college, nobody inspired me more than the 18- and 19-year-olds who serve on the front lines of our nation's military. Serving with them in the Marines as we together served our country was the greatest honor of my life to date.

Candidates like Amy McGrath are running against the establishment, they're rebelling, putting country over party and it is resonating. At the end of the day, members of the military set aside differences for the country. That's what Americans should expect from Congress as well. We represent different districts, but we ought to be able to find common ground.
