Another Gold Star mother has 'something to say' to Republican pick Donald Trump
Leslie Salzillo
Gold Star mother Michelle DeFord of Sumpter of Oregon, who lost her son David Johnson in the Iraq War, has expressed her poignant outrage against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump over his shameful attack last week against the Khan Gold Star mother/family.
Here is the transcript and one-minute video of Ms. DeFord’s heartfelt words of a mother who has lost a child. Most agree there can be nothing worse.
“A month after 9-11, I got a call from David and he told me he was going into the National Guard. He was sent to Iraq to be a gunner.A car pulled up in the driveway and three soldiers got out, and the sound of their boots as they came up those stairs will stay with me the rest of my life.You have moments when you really don't want to live anymore. It’s a fate I would not wish on anybody. Not anybody.
When I saw Donald Trump attack another Gold Star mother, I felt such a sense of outrage.
(Donald Trump: ‘She was standing there. She had nothing to say…’)
I would like to tell Donald Trump what it feels like, the sense of emptiness that only losing a child can bring. Those people should be honored and treated with kindness for the rest of their lives and I don't think that Donald Trump will ever understand that. “
Here is the video:
It’s doubtful Donald Trump will feel any remorse over his actions as he has to shown none thus far. But there is hope that the American people will see his attacks as a reason to place their vote with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to keep Donald Trump, a wicked, hate and fear-mongering human being, from becoming the President of the United States.
