DEI vs racism

To: Rep. Messmer, Pres. Trump, Sen. Young, Sen. Banks

From: A constituent in Leavenworth, IN

March 17

I just read an article about a Vietnam era Medal of Honor winner having his picture and name removed from a webpage honoring him. I want an ANSWER and not some canned response as to why this is happening. It is obvious to me that the trump admin is racist and hiding behind DEI. Removing this record along with any reference to blacks and women buried at Arlington National Cemetery is a degrading act by the DoD and specifically trump. How can we move forward as a country when our leadership refuses to honor the sacrifices made by people of color and women. As a Marine stationed at Marine Barracks 8th & I in Washington DC I marched over that sacred ground to bury our heroes many times without regard to their color or gender. I’m disgusted by this and embarrassed to be an American. I need to know why our legislators are not standing up to this tyrant. Like I said, I demand a real answer and not some attempt to blow smoke in places it doesn’t belong.
