Ray Semko: Patriotism, Sacrifice, and the Call to Civic Action
Security Educator and Public Speaker Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man, who served as the STARRS Rally for Our Republic emcee, also gave a talk at the event held in September 2024 in Arizona.
Reflecting on the profound themes of patriotism and sacrifice, he takes you on a journey through personal stories of being drafted and serving in Vietnam. These experiences illuminate the emotional resonance of iconic symbols like the national anthem and the eagle. He discusses the complex geopolitical landscape, contrasting past perceptions of communism with modern global relations, particularly with communist China, whom he has been warning in his D*I*C*E briefings as a threat since 1990. He highlights the importance of oaths and commitments in defending the values represented by the stars and stripes.
Through the eyes of an Army counterintelligence special agent and a Vietnam veteran, Ray examines the significance of protecting the United States against all threats, foreign and domestic. He underscores the strength of the American middle class and the challenges it faces, as well as the enduring value of freedom. With reflections on military camaraderie and training, he issues a passionate call to action for younger generations to preserve knowledge, build teamwork, and uphold the ideals of freedom, ensuring that America remains resilient in the face of challenges.
Touching on personal anecdotes, Ray delves into themes of honesty, influence, and patriotism. Hear a story from 1998 that still resonates today, alongside humorous insights into marriage and truthfulness. His talk moves to the power of influence amidst political disillusionment and the pressing need for active civic engagement. With vital reflections on national security, the integrity of leadership, and the role of voting, especially among veterans, he concludes with a motivational call to action—encouraging everyone to pursue ambitious, meaningful endeavors for a stronger future.

Well, if you ask me where I come from, here's what I tell everyone I was born, by God's dear grace, in an extraordinary place when the stars and stripes and the eagle fly, place where the stars and stripes and the eagles fly. It's a big old land with countless dreams, and happiness ain't out of reach. Hard work pays off the way it should. Yeah, it ain't enough to know that we've got it good. Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly, there's a lady that stands in a harbor For what we believe. Thank you, I think I to this flag. Thank you, I think I made my point. Thank you, eric. I appreciate that. You see diversity there. That's America. I used that video 20 years ago To my audiences.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:Everywhere I went, I didn't care who they were, military, whatever contractors you name it. I've done Chamber of Commerce, I've done the White House, I've done Camp David. People lose their mind. They invite me. I go. That's diversity. Stars and stripes, that's what we are. And the other one is trying to divide us and we can't put up with that. I won't put up with that.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:I still get goosebumps every time I hear or sing the national anthem. I still get goosebumps when I see the eagle and they let it go and it lands on the guy for a football game. I don't know why I'm wired that way. Maybe it's because they did draft me and six months after I was drafted they sent me to Vietnam and I fought for my life with a whole lot of other people. Where's my Vietnam veterans? They got to be here somewhere. Welcome home, welcome home. Be here somewhere, welcome home, welcome home.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:We flew on planes that didn't even have names. They didn't feed us. They stopped in the Philippines and then we went there and it was unbelievable. We ate dog crap, there wasn't a Burger King there. There wasn't anything there for us. I got there in 1968, 16 May, not that I remember it well, but I remember it well and, by the grace of God and my fellow soldiers, I came home and I owe them. I owe them for protecting me, I owe God for bringing me home and that's what I fight for Every day. I'm 75 years old, I don't know what I got left, but I'm going to fight every day and I hope I die on stage.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:I know nobody in the audience is going to try and save me, but I took that oath as a young kid and when I had to take that oath, I had to step across people who were laying on the ground in Pittsburgh, pennsylvania, saying don't go, don't go. But I was told to fight communism. That's what it was about. And now, at my age, I'm sitting there going. What is the difference between Russian communism and Chinese communism? Because we welcome Chinese communism with open arms.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:And Matt hits on so many things. Everybody hit on so many things. When you think about this oath that we take, I took it seriously. I live by oaths, but you know what was one of the most disgusting things I witnessed Was the last session of the House of Representatives that was sworn in on the day that they were voted in.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:They do not take the oath. Somebody reads the oath to them and they say I do, and that struck me like a lot of things struck back. You're not saying the oath, because when you say the oath against all enemies, foreign and domestic, what got me up every day as a counter intelligence special agent with the domestic threats in the united states of america? You've heard it, you've seen it, but it is. We are going to be destroyed from the inside, not the outside. Nobody can beat us from the outside.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:So what they're trying to do is divide us from the inside, and I want you to understand and my partner in crime who's running the Internet, cindy Quitchoff. She said, ray, you're not giving them a dice briefing, pray, you're not giving them a dice briefing. But I have to bring that in a little bit. I'm trying to tell you what motivates me every day and what I need you to be motivated every day to care about. Every day we're under assault and what we do. When we let one little thing slide, that little thing becomes a big thing. It always becomes a big thing, and then pretty soon it's so big you can't handle it. It's like when the enemies were, russia was building up around the Ukraine. How many months were they building up around the Ukraine? What did they think? They were having a cookout. And then all of a sudden it became so big they had to do what they had to do. And then, fortunately, we haven't done anything as far as getting any of our soldiers killed there, but it is absolutely disgusting. So when you take this oath against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and you abide by the Constitution of the United States, there's nobody out there like that. It's just us. That's why I love our name, united States. It's just us. It's always been just us.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:What separates us from the rest of the countries is the middle class, and you can't tell me they're not trying to destroy us. There's no other middle class. You're either rich or you're poor. So here's my statement to anybody who really doesn't like us Leave. I've said this for decades. Please leave.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:Really, go into Mexico. There's not a crowd going in. They're looking for a few good people. If you want to go, if you like socialism, there's already many ready-made countries. If you like communism, they're already made Socialism. We got them around the world too. You can go and live there, please. But if you're here, we're free, and freedom means everything to me, because, see, when I was in Vietnam, I wasn't free.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:By the way, the only guy that welcomed us back in 1969 when I came back was the pilot that flew us when we entered US airspace. Welcome home. There wasn't a dry eye in that plane. We came back to the world, and this world is worth fighting for. What's worth fighting for? Anybody under 30? You guys are under 30, right, okay? Anybody else under 30 years of age, thank God. Appreciate that Whenever I give a briefing, I always talk to the young people, because these old people are going to die soon and it's up to you Okay, it's really up to you.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:You got to take it seriously and you join STARS now. That's when you want to do it. Now you get the experience of all these people. They got stories that'll just blow your mind of what we had to do, what we did do. You've never lived until you've almost died.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:My first mission ambushed. You never forget that. My first ambush I had to pull. I was ready for it. I never fired a weapon in my life until I was drafted. But I became an expert and I could kill from 300 meters, 300 yards, 250 meters. And when I came back from Vietnam, you know what I did. I trained soldiers. I became a drill sergeant, and you know why? Because I wanted them to know what I went through. It's important that we build camaraderie, that we build teamwork, and that's why this organization. When Cindy Quitchoff mentioned to me Ray here's this organization, and she Quitchoff mentioned to me Ray here's this organization and she puts out this webpage and it's fantastic. And in support of Cindy I said you know what? I think this is right up my alley, because I've been there and I've done that.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:When I was 20 years of age, I was a staff sergeant in the United States Army. I made that rank in 20 months 20 months, you know. My counterparts were in their mid-30s. They never talked to me. You know what? They called me, son, and I told them I know I'm bright, but I'm not your son.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:I had to run them all because I was the youngest and instead of punishing my troops that I was trying to train, I always sat them down and I talked to them because nobody basically talked to me when I was being trained to go to war. They were going to go to Vietnam and I told them I want you to come back alive. If you listen to me. When somebody says, hit it, you hit it. You don't go what you teach? Things like this. We are teachers, we are educators and we can't lose this wealth of knowledge without making more sense to people. I never want you to fight a war. I want us to be so strong that we don't have to fight, that nobody wants to take us on. So here's the thing I'm going to impart on you that nobody may be imparted on you.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:It's just not Americans, it's China's involvement in America. It has been decades in the making. You don't know if it's real or if it's Memorex. Do you even know what that means? I know Young people don't know. See, memorex was a tape that they invented back in the 70s and 80s and you can actually record music. I know that sounds ridiculous, but so that when they played it back on the tape it sounded like the real thing. So people didn't know if that's a real person singing or is that Memorex? Okay? So we don't know if it's an American that's putting crap on the internet and social media or if it's a foreign nation.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:Now we were told by the FBI that it's Russia. Well, matt does things like that. If Matt's going to talk like that, so am I, but I've always called him that Always the average FBI agent on the street. Fantastic, that's as far as I can go. I've worked with them and after I got through training troops for two years, you know I stopped training troops. They were making me sell them beer at the evening meal in a mess hall. I'm training them. They could have two cans of beer. I'm not playing that game. So I decided what else can I do? And that's when I went and became a counterintelligence special agent. I got my badge of credentials on 10 September 1971. And I was so proud. I get to go after enemies of the United States and when I found the domestic enemies and I found many of them, wow.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:So what motivated me to learn about China? I've been talking about China since January of 1990. I've been trying to tell people what they're doing. I laid it out, I have put it out there and, it is amazing, it's always cost me my job. As an American counterintelligence agent. I am not allowed to go to national laboratories. I'm not allowed. It's forbidden. So every one of you who feel like you've been canceled, I was way ahead of you, way ahead of you.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:In 1998, one person made a complaint. I hurt their feelings. Get over it, you immature fool. But I really don't think I did. I think it was somebody that was in a powerful position that made the claim. Anyway, it worked.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:So I tell you, I said that statement because last September 2023, I get a call from Los Alamos, a national laboratory. You know Oppenheimer, wow, anybody been to Los Alamos? You don't accidentally drive to it, do you? You got to want to go there on purpose, yeah, and invited, and we couldn't keep a secret, then we can't keep a secret. So everything China has, everything Russia has, they've stolen from us. So, anyway. So Los Alamos says, hey, we'd like you to come back and give us a dice briefing, and I said okay, and we set it all up and then they had to call me back and said security found out you're coming. And they said you can't. Okay, isn't that neat. And they're all retired FBI agents, by the way, since we're being so honest and not straightforward.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:But I've always been honest and straightforward. It's one of my bad traits. That's why I tell my wife don't ever ask me anything if you're not prepared to hear the truth. And it happened when we first got married and she asked me we were going out. It was one of the times very rare that we actually were invited anywhere. And she came out of the back bedroom. She said how do I look? And she had a dress that was oh, it was beautiful Been, very fortunate and blessed, and she started walking away. I said but what are you going to do with your hair? I didn't know. She was done with it. And she turned around and said what's wrong with it? I said, well, in the back it's just like a little matted and you know this and that that was it. We didn't go out that night and I said okay, how many times I got to tell you this? If you can't handle the truth, don't ask me the question. I would have never said anything. If that's the way you want to go out, you go out like that, but that's the only way we can be and that's why we've been married for 40 years. 40 years and this is how aggressive I am.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:I met her in April 1984. I proposed to her in May 1984. We got married on 25 August 1984. I'm that hot Now. I recruited her. I recruited her. I saw this lady and I'm going.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:You ever see a beautiful girl and you go. Man, if I could just get a date with her, I'm sure you've had that happen. Right, I wasn't gonna let this one go. I didn't even want to get married. I can't imagine my life without her. She's a supporter, she puts up with everything. But she always says If I ask you a question, can you just give me a short answer? And I can't, because if you don't know the rest of the story, then the answer doesn't make any sense. And I'm not short on it Because I'll give you a nickel knowledge On everything you want to talk about. I just know a lot about a lot of things because I've investigated them.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:Influence agents in the United States of America are destroying us. They are influencing people way more than we're influencing people. And, by the way, before I forget, I know the Internet. There's some people. There's one person on the Internet, bob Burton from Raleigh, north Carolina. Bob, if you're still tuned into us, you joined STARS. We need you. Okay, bob Burton's a good man in Raleigh, north Carolina. I know a lot of good people around the country but, like me, I didn't hear stars until Cindy got involved.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:Get involved in stars. You need to be able to do this. This is your effort to protect our country, because it's only going to get worse. It's not going to get better. And you got to believe in something. I believe in me. I'm not lying to me. I know it's bad. I believe in me. I'm not lying to me, I know it's bad. So what are we going to do? Well, we're going to band together.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:And I've actually heard people say well, my wife actually said I don't know who to vote for. Ever had anybody come up and say I don't know who to vote for. Well, here's the way I kind of look at it. Is there any current politician that's done anything for you recently? And if they haven't, vote them out, get them out. Here's the key I know about Congress. I don't think any session of Congress since the beginning of the first one has ever done anything that they didn't think about being reelected. That's first and foremost. They've never done anything for us.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:I'm getting sick and tired of being threatened. Social Security's gonna disappear. You can't. I paid into that, you stole my money for that and you're gonna tell me it's going to disappear. No, by the way, you're going to go ahead and give it to people. That and this drives me absolutely nuts illegal. When did we change the definition of illegal? I know what illegal is, so do you, yet it's only in certain situations. So we got to stop this. Okay. Situations. So we got to stop this. Okay.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:So I put that dice thing up there because I want people to understand where I come from. It's a subliminal messaging program. When I started talking to people, I'd get like 25 people. First time I went to Los Alamos 650 seat state auditorium, 25 people in it, and they brought work to do and I'm going. This is ridiculous. So I want people to hear me. So that's why I kind of dress differently than anybody else when I get my briefing. By the way, this is my briefing outfit. It's like when you play football, you put on a football uniform.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:When I brief national security and I'm briefing a dice program, I put on dice, and what dice stands for it is defensive information to counter everything. Because I have family members that actually, once they've heard my briefing, if I go back to the same location, they bring family members. The youngest person I've ever had in my audience was in Honolulu, hawaii, in an Air Force base, hickam, and they had a seven-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl and they were like in the fifth row back and I said have you ever heard me before? And the guy said, yeah, that's why we brought our children. And I knew the boy was going to be a problem, not the girl, just the boy. He wouldn't sit. He got up when I first started my briefing, moved over to his dad, sat on his dad's lap and watched me everywhere I went. Did I make an impression on a seven-year-old boy? I don't know how much, but I know he watched me, he listened. I don't know what went into his subconscious. But that's what this program's all about.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:Anytime you see a dire pair of dice, I want you to think about survival, I want you to think about security, think about espionage, think about terrorism and all these other things. But I want you to think about all of this is national security. Because without national security, what kind of foundation is this country built on? We're built on quicksand. National security is the key and that's what I fought for every day of my life. So in January 1990, an individual came to me after a dice briefing and said I think I have a problem with the chief of the China branch at Defense Intelligence Agency. And we did. He was an influence agent.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:You should have seen the difficulty I had trying to get people to do anything about it. You know why? Because money talks, the rest walks. Money talks, the rest walks. And when you can make money, wow, I don't care what you got to say. So it's everything. I have dice necklaces that are up here. If anybody wants a reminder, I usually try and throw them out. But when I throw them out, I have a rock song playing in the back, because I get people excited, I'm excited, I'm excited Again. My wife goes Ray, you're just not wired normal and I'm, I'm going okay.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:First off, I hate public speaking. I'm being dead serious with you. It took everything I had to speak in public, especially when you're talking about a subject like national security. Who's really going to be interested in that? But if you don't have national security, you don't explain it to people. Then all of a sudden they got involved and they started telling everybody. And the next time I went back to Los Alamos, we had standing room only and they had to turn people away at the door and that's why I had to leave. I was making too much sense and that's why I had to leave. I was making too much sense. People were believing. People will believe you. They want to believe you. There's people who still contact me wanting to know hey, are you still doing it? And yeah, I am. But I had to leave the government. I was, I left.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:I've always told this to my bosses you don't like me, just tell me to leave. You don't have to stab me in the back, you don't have to fire me, whatever. Just say Ray, I can't handle it anymore, leave and I'll find another job. So I've never been afraid of that. I will take care of my family and I tell people principles that they have to live by. Okay, and that's the most important thing, and dice why? Because everything matters. Your health matters.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:I will talk to you about pandemics. I will talk to you about anything. Those of you who are old enough. Do you remember the pandemic of 1957? We had a pandemic in 1957. People were dying and this is gonna knock your socks off. It was called the Chinese flu. See, we can say that then that's where it came from. But Maurice Hilleman, h-i-l-l-e-m-a-n. Look it up. He was smart enough. Walter Reed Army Hospital, he had the antidote before it hit America. People got sick, people died, but they didn't close the schools, they didn't do anything. Everybody, some people in the West, because, understand, there's three-fourths of the United States population lives east of the Mississippi River. That's why you got so much open space out here. But there was so many people out West didn't even know there was a pandemic. Schools weren't closed because if there wasn't enough children to have a class, you just canceled it, like they do now. They just cancel it because teachers want to get together. We had it and not everybody didn't die. So when this pandemic came, I was livid.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:I have freedom. You're not going to tell me that Nobody has the right to tell me that I'm not free. You're not going to tell me that Nobody has the right to tell me that I'm not free. Nobody has the right to tell me that I don't have free speech. Nobody has that right. I fought for my freedom of speech. I fought for freedom. I did what the government told me to do and I will do everything to protect you. If you have to go to war and this is something I learned all on my own you want to go to war and get it over with. You want to be so strong that nobody wants to fight us. Strength through power. That's what we need to do. Stop giving our intellectual property away. Stop giving our proprietary information away. They have the same jet fighters that we do. It's disgusting. So what we need to do is care about America every day, because, without our freedoms, somebody's got to fight for it.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:This is the group, and anybody on the net that's watching this. You need to join this group and anybody on the net that's watching this. You need to join this group. We need one person like Kim, who contacted eight others for whatever reason you were bored or you just needed some encouragement. Whatever it was, you did the right thing. That's what we all do. We do the right thing whether anybody's looking or not. Oh, by the way, I just gave you the definition of integrity. Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody's looking or not. Oh, by the way, I just gave you the definition of integrity. Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. Integrity is going in there and saying you know what? I'm mad and I'm not going to take it anymore. I've had people say well, I can't vote for Trump. Why Did you not have a good time? And you need to think about this.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:In my time as a living American, the only thing I ever wanted was somebody that cared about America, to be the leader. By the way, did anybody find out who's in charge today of America? That rumor come down on social media or anything like that? It's still the billionaires. Okay, that's what I thought. So it is just absolutely mind-boggling that all I wanted was somebody that wasn't a politician. I really think if we can get a third party, we can do it, but we can't.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:Prevaricators is what I like to use instead of fake news. In fact, I'm actually talking at Penn State University, maybe two, three years ago, and the guy I just started talking and there's a guy in this amphitheater way up top and he raises his hand and I'm going he got a complaint already. Oh, this is going to be good and I don't care, complain if that's what you want to do. But he didn't. So I had to walk all the steps, get close to him to hear because I was the demolition man of Vietnam low level hearing loss and he says how can you tell fake news? I thought that was a pretty good question. I never expected it and I'm like I should have never told him to give me my question, because I had to answer it now and the only thing that came to me in the short period of time that I had because, see, it's not like when you have a debate and they give you the questions up front and then you can formulate your answer and the whole thing I had to do this cold turkey and I told them. I said the only way you can determine fake news is if you're educated.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:You have to be smart and that's one of the problems we have. Stupid people cannot be free. They can't Just think about it. I know you think I'm referring to your in-laws, but stupid people cannot be free. They have to have somebody telling them what to do. I don't need anybody to tell me what to do. I didn't have to have anybody tell me how I had to prepare for this. I know what I have to do every day of my life. You know what you need to do. Ann knew what she had to do.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:Timothy, it was a great talk on our man. I love him. Okay. I like anybody that's intelligent, that does analytical thinking, that's not afraid to tell the truth, and you live with it. That's all and again. Analytical thinking. It's not afraid to tell the truth and you live with it. That's all and again. I'm serious. I'm never invited to parties. They might make a mistake the first time, but they won't after that, because I won't put up with stupid. It's all there is to it. We're all born ignorant. Please understand that. We're all born ignorant, but stupid's a choice, and never argue with anybody stupid because they're going to beat you with experience. Here's yeah, okay, what do I got five minutes? Okay, fine, I want you to know something. This is important. Anybody heard of unrestricted warfare? Anybody read the book? Okay, good, you, ed. Yeah, okay, ed and I both went to Fort Huachuca in 1971. Different classes, unrestricted Warfare Okay, this is China's master plan to destroy America.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:It's in this book. The book came out in 1999. It was written by two Chinese colonels. Okay, and these colonels lay out what they're going to do to America. So, just so you think you know I'm not crazy and I'm making this up, you need to read Unrestricted Warfare because it reveals China's game plan in the coming war with America.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:China thinks it can destroy America by using these tactics and this is a statement by Admiral Thomas Moore, us Navy. Oh, by the way, since we had Army and Navy, raise your hand and all that stuff. I am Army, but the Navy is the only thing that scares China. They want everything the Navy does because that's the unknown. In fact, the other services are jealous. I mean, they go, we have stuff. How come you don't want my army stuff? You know, but it's the Navy that scares them.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:So, in the book of Unrestricted Warfare and I encourage you to get it and read it you don't have to read it, in fact, all you got to do is read page 42 and 43, and you'll get the gist of it. The rules in Unrestricted Warfare are there are no rules, none, and they will use everything in the book, and I mean everything in the book. Give me a second. So what they're going to do? They're going to do financial warfare, smuggling warfare, cultural warfare, drug warfare, media and fabrication warfare, technological warfare, resource warfare, psychological warfare, network warfare, international law warfare, environmental warfare and economic aid warfare. That's just some of the warfares that they in 1999, said Because you know what China knows they can't beat us right now. They can't beat us. So what they're going to do, we're so much more powerful with the weapons they're going to destroy us internally, and that's what they've been doing and that's what we have to fight against. So, please, you don't have to read the whole book page by page, but get the book. But get the book. Understand the different warfares.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:And I started talking about the fake news. I can't watch NBC. It stands for Nationally Broadcasting for China. Cbs stands for Chinese Broadcasting Service. Abc is always broadcasting for China. And CNN and this is nothing new, because a lot of us knew this back in the 90s and first decade of the 21st century CNN is a communist news network. They have a way of saying something but never actually telling both sides of the story.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:When I was growing up, we had Huntley Brinkley, we had Walter Cronkite. Walter Cronkite got on the air and says you know, this thing that we're doing in Vietnam, I don't know why we're doing it. We're just getting a lot of our young people killed. We killed a whole generation of young people, a whole generation. For what you killed them in the worst possible ways you don't even want to know, can't happen again. I don't know why somebody doesn't take out a sniper because of rules of engagement when Americans are involved.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:You want that done. Stop sacrificing America's lives. Military we don't have a military. We don't have national security. There's no greater reason to get up every morning and do this. So what you want to do. There's no greater reason to get up every morning and do this. So what you want to do.
Ray Semko: The D*I*C*E Man:You want to make sense with people and you've got to vote. You know we all act like everybody votes. But I'm telling you everybody doesn't vote. There are many veterans that don't vote. So when you see your fellow veteran, you don't have to tell them who to vote for, just tell them to vote. That's what we need to do, because that's what I had to tell my wife Just vote, but if the person in office isn't doing the job, get them out of office. What more proof do you need? And that's the story, because Stone Cold said so. So I want you to go forth, I want you to do wild and wonderful things. I can't tell you how thrilling it was to have an opportunity to talk to such an audience like this. Stars, ron, I will do everything I can to try and help your organization get the word out that you're in existence, that you need help, because this is one organization I know that really does help. So go forth, do wild and wonderful things and always have a dice day. Thank you very, very much. Take care.
