F-15Cs from the 122nd Fighter Squadron of the 159th Fighter Wing, Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans, Louisiana, take off from Gowen Field, Boise, Idaho on July 27, 2018.When my son told me he wanted to join the U.S. Air Force as an officer to protect the rights and freedoms we have as Americans, as well as fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a pilot, I could not have been more proud.
My father told me the men and women he worked with all wanted to achieve one mission: defeat the enemy and protect democracy. He did not see race, sex, or ethnic background in the people he worked with; he saw fellow soldiers working towards one common goal. I will always remember that his time in the military was mission-driven. He aimed to protect the American people and the values on which our nation was founded.
Today, with the implementation of DEI and other “woke” policies in the military, members of the military do not have a unifying goal. And if they do have one, it might be something as ridiculous as learning how to lead people using different pronouns. Or, it could be making sure that all ethnic groups, sexes, or people of different backgrounds are equally represented regardless of their ability to do a job.
During his time at the Air Force Academy, my son has had to attend training and briefings regarding DEI and other divisive policies. He and his fellow cadets walked out of those briefings feeling very uncomfortable, knowing that what they were told was hurting the military, creating conflicts among each other, and destroying the concept of building one cohesive fighting unit.

The final resting place of a Black Civil War veteran is resurrected in GaryA worker uncovered more than just a broken 85-year-old headstone in Gary’s Oak Hill Cemetery recently. Cracked off its base, the buried marker bears the name of a former Kentucky slave, John Eubanks set free by his owners after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. His somewhat Forrest Gump-like career in a Kentucky Black infantry unit was memorialized in a 17-volume “Slave Narratives” collection produced during the Great Depression by the Federal Writers Project, which provided work for unemployed writers.
