To the Editor:

I am a Vietnam-era veteran and since 1972, I have voted my conscience for Democrats, Republicans and Independents. My preferred candidate has not always won the presidency, but whoever became our president, I consistently attempted to show respect for the office and the person holding that office.

I have always believed that despite having differing opinions on major issues and concerns, the person holding the ultimate office was a patriot and had the best interests of the country at heart.
