Over 1,000 veterans flock to new DeSantis coalition just 2 weeks after launch: 'Service above self'
Fox News
The Ron DeSantis presidential campaign tells Fox News Digital that over 1,000 veterans have joined his National Veterans Coalition since it was launched two weeks ago.
"Leadership is a privilege and should be earned, not given," Congressman Rich McCormick (R-GA), a decorated Marine Corps and Navy veteran, who is the national chair for the Veterans for DeSantis Coalition, told Fox News Digital. Andrew Mark Miller is a reporter at Fox News. Find him on Twitter @andymarkmiller and email tips to AndrewMark.Miller@Fox.com.
"Veterans from across the nation are lining up to support Ron DeSantis for president because he is the only candidate in this race who has worn the flag on his sleeve and truly understands what it means to put service above self. It's a dangerous world, and we need a commander-in-chief who is ready to go on Day One."
