As veterans we not only have the Constitutional right to vote we also have the duty to vote because we all swore a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and voting is the best way to fulfill that oath. The Veterans’ Administration estimates for 2021 indicate there are 5.9 million American veterans who served during the Vietnam era and 7.8 million who served in the Gulf War era, which spans from August 1990 through the present. There are also around 240,000 World War II veterans and about 933,000 who served during the Korean conflict, if we register everyone we know and all vote together we can fix what is happening in the USA today.
