Our peninsula is home to one of the largest concentrations of military veterans.
Veterans do not boast or bully but rather they, men and women, stand tall, observe, and then devise a strategy to rectify the situation.
Brian Pruiett is a candidate for the Washington State Legislature, Position 2, District 24.
Silent at the start of his candidacy the opinionated felt he did not understand their issues.
Today if he states facts he is called a bully.
He is a family man, a farmer, a small business owner, and a devout Christian.
Like many others he has been hurt by rising taxes and poor legislation.
Do you hold it against him to stand up and make a difference for those of us who feel the same?
When negative comments are posted a writer is doing the same from the comfort of their home where no one can see them.
This is what bullies do.
We thank Steve Tharinger for his service.
He got up and ran on the Democrat ticket in a blue state.
Of course, he is re-elected over and over again.
Give us a sports team with more players on one side and you can still cheer the opposition to victory.
As a member of Voices for Veterans of Clallam County, I will not sit back and allow anyone to call a military veteran a bully.
Brian Pruiett welcomes your thoughts.
He is up for the challenge.
He is a military veteran running for public office.
