On Nov. 11, 2025, I hope to quietly celebrate my 101st birthday. I walk with difficulty, have degenerative arthritis, a fractured spine and partial vision in my right eye.
I am a WWII U.S. Navy veteran of the Pacific Ocean war against the Japanese Empire. My ship landed 800 U.S. Marines of the Sixth Division on the beaches of Okinawa on Easter Sunday morning 1945. We fought and defeated a foreign enemy to protect and preserve the principles and ideals of our Founding Fathers.
I was 20 when I signed my first last will and testament. On Nov. 4, 2025, I intend to vote “Yes,” without reservation, on ballot Question 1 at Scarborough High School, to preserve the sacred right of citizens of the United States to vote in free and honest elections.
