Subject: Support Senator Mark Kelly – A National Hero Dear [Representative/Senator], I am writing to express my unwavering support for Senator Mark Kelly and to condemn the attacks on him by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. Senator Kelly is a national hero. Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four space missions, he risked his life to defend our country, our Constitution, and the freedoms of every American—including the right to speak freely. Senator Kelly has done nothing wrong. His record of service, sacrifice, and leadership is unparalleled. He commanded a space shuttle mission while his wife recovered from a gunshot wound, served in combat in harm’s way, and has dedicated his post-military career to representing the people of Arizona with courage and integrity. He has done more for this country than most of us can imagine, earning the respect and gratitude of all Americans. It is outrageous and un-American for Pete Hegseth or Donald Trump to attempt to intimidate or punish him for exercising his right to speak out. Attacking a retired servicemember who has devoted his life to the nation sends a chilling message to all veterans: that speaking truth or holding leaders accountable could put you at risk. This is unacceptable. I urge you to publicly defend Senator Kelly and reject any threats, intimidation, or censure directed at him. He is a patriot, a hero, and a leader who deserves our respect—not political attacks. Thank you for standing with Senator Kelly, and for honoring the service, sacrifice, and integrity of our nation’s heroes. Sincerely, [Your Name] [City, State]
