As America marks its 250th birthday, it is worth remembering how often this nation has been shaped by those who first served it in uniform. George Washington led us through our founding. Eisenhower and Kennedy carried their military service into the nation’s highest office and governed with conviction. Seth Moulton stands in that tradition.
Moulton is one of ten leaders profiled in Rye Barcott’s new book, “Courage Can Save Us.” As Barcott writes, this moment “demands leaders willing to govern across party lines … and choose courage over outrage.” After reading the chapter on Moulton, I’d urge every Massachusetts voter to learn his story.
A decorated Marine and four-tour Iraq veteran, Moulton lives a creed that never expires: Once a Marine, Always a Marine. That duty did not end at discharge — it carries into every cause he champions. In a precarious moment, his leadership and experience are exactly what we should want in the United States Senate.
Moulton has already proven he can lead. Now it is time to promote him. This Fourth of July, give the country a birthday gift: read “Courage Can Save Us,” and send Seth Moulton to the Senate.
