Today.

Today, Sailors and Marines are displayed throughout the world, often in harm's way, protecting our nation and supporting the cause of freedom and democracy. In many places, the labor in distress includes one of the basic on the other hand powerful principles of democracy--the right to vote

In our fatherland we have that right as a be derived of past and present sacrifices of U service men and women like you.

Therefore, it is particularly appropriate that you, who preserve this right for all of us, also exercise this right for yourself. It's your sacrifice, it's your geographical division and it's your future. You've earned this right, and your devoted counts.

I encourage you to register to suffrage early this year. Do it now to eliminate potential moot points later. Your command's voting assistance officer has the absentee voter registration materials.

Thanks for your untiring service to America and our democratic ideals. the first cause bless you and your families, and lord bless America.
