@BrendenJonesNC Thank you sir. Warning though, the way things are going in the Commonwealth the last 30 days, there will be alot more than VMI coming south!
"The beauty and majesty of VMI lie in its commitment to the individual, to treating everyone not as members of groups, but rather as individual human beings with inherent dignity."

More support for @VMI1839! Yes, the Institute produces outstanding graduates who are citizen soldiers, but it is also a vital part of our national security.
Department of War Statement on Proposed Legislation Affecting the Virginia Military Institute
The Department of War is monitoring Virginia House Bill 1374, focused on the governance of the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), with significant concern. For generations, the unique military environment at VMI has made the Institute a vital source of commissioned officers for the Armed Forces.
The stability of this proven leadership pipeline is a matter of direct national security interest and any action that could disrupt the ecosystem requires our full attention. DoW reserves the right to take extraordinary measures to protect the integrity of VMI and our commitment to the cadets and midshipmen currently training there remains steadfast.
We urge the Virginia General Assembly to consider the broader implications of this bill on military readiness, as well as the federal government's long-standing investment in this critical institution.
The Virginia General Assembly is considering legislation that could significantly affect VMIβs future, and your voice can make the difference.
The link below gives you everything you need to take action now: We invite you to contact legislators online, by phone, and in person.

A salute to all the great VMI alums who have signed up to support me and my campaign! Thank you!!
The Spirit of VMI (@SoVMIPAC) is alive and Virginiaβs finest institutions deserve to be recognized and respected and preserved not vilified and sanitized with a fake modern morality.
I really appreciated the chance to see all the folks who came out for our Richmond reception last night.
My Grandfather was VMI Class of 1925- he enrolled when he was 16 years old and later served in the US Navy. Many of my friends from St. Christopherβs attended in the 90βs. This is important to preserve for a new generation of citizen/soldier leaders.
Many thanks to these alums and local leaders for their financial support and votes! I will do my best to save the best of Virginia if I am Lt. Governor!!
