Dear John,

On this Veterans Day, let us take a moment to reflect not only on the bravery and sacrifice of our servicemen and women but also on the need for a fundamental shift in our approach to their well-being. The Libertarian Party stands as a staunch advocate for our troops, not through empty gestures, but through a commitment to bringing them home, keeping them home, and ensuring they receive the support they truly deserve.

True support for our troops goes beyond parades and ceremonies; it means preventing unnecessary overseas deployments that risk their lives for causes unrelated to our national defense. The Libertarian Party recognizes the importance of a strong defense but insists on avoiding the trap of becoming entangled in endless foreign conflicts that only serve to strain our military and diminish the lives of those who serve.

As we honor our veterans, we must acknowledge the struggles they face upon returning home. Many grapple with post-traumatic stress disorder, physical injuries, and the daunting challenge of reintegrating into civilian life. The Libertarian Party stands for a future where our veterans don't find themselves in these challenging situations in the first place; where they are supported in their lives at home while preparing and at the ready to provide a strong national defense.

A Legacy of Belligerence

Throughout our history, the United States has become increasingly entangled in overseas conflicts, often with questionable relevance to our national security. Libertarian philosophy advocates for a return to a foreign policy that prioritizes the safety of our nation without needlessly endangering the lives of our troops in far-off lands. Our foreign policy should adhere to the non-aggression principle that we’ve adopted as a staple of our core beliefs.

By supporting the Libertarian Party, you empower a political force that tirelessly advocates for a foreign policy rooted minding our own damn business. Together, we can avoid unnecessary conflicts that burden our troops and jeopardize their well-being. We truly are the only anti-war party consistently on your ballot. Your support can ensure that future generations of servicemen and women are not needlessly sent into harm's way but instead remain where they belong: at home, with their families and communities.

This Veterans Day, let us commit to more than just expressions of gratitude. Let us commit to a future where our troops are not pawns in geopolitical games, where they return to a nation that values their sacrifice and provides the support they need. Support the Libertarian Party at lp.org/donate and help build a future where Veterans Day is not just a reminder of sacrifices made, but a celebration of a nation that truly lifts our veterans up. Together, we can ensure that our troops are honored not only in words but in actions that reflect a commitment to their well-being and a dedication to a more peaceful and just world.
