"The Salty Sailor"...
THE SALTY SAILOR
February 8, 2018, by Karen Vaughn
What an awesome letter.
Comment from KAREN VAUGHN Mother of Aaron Vaughn, Navy Seal
“Sometimes God uses the no-nonsense, salty sailor to get the job done. Appreciating what the man is doing doesn’t mean we worship the salty sailor or even desire to be like the salty sailor. It doesn’t even mean God admires the salty sailor. Maybe He just knows he’s necessary for such a time as this.
I believe with all my heart that God placed that salty sailor in the White House and gave this nation one more chance in November 2016. Donald Trump is what he is. He is still the man he was before the e******n. And without guilt, I very much admire what that salty sailor is accomplishing.
He’s not like me. That’s okay with me. I don’t want to be like him. I will never behave like him. I know we’ve NEVER had a man like him lead our nation. It’s crazy and a little mind-blowing at times. But I can’t help admire the ability he has to act with his heart rather than a calculated, PC, think tank-screened, carefully edited script. I still believe that is WHY he became our President and WHY he’s been able to handle a landslide of adversity and STILL pass unprecedented amounts of good legislation for our country AND do great works for MANY other nations, including Israel.
I’m THRILLED with what he’s doing for my nation, for the cause of Christ (whether intentional or unintentional, doesn’t matter to me), and for the concept of rebuilding America and putting her FIRST. I will not be ashamed of my position because others don’t see him through the same lens.
Should it matter to me if a fireman drops an f-bomb while he’s pulling me from a burning building? Would I really care about what came out of his mouth in those moments? Heck no! I’d CARE about what he was DOING. He wasn’t sent there to save my soul and I’m not looking to him for spiritual guidance. All I’m thinking in those moments is, “Thank you, Jesus, for sending the fireman.”
This man is crass. Okay. He’s not careful with what he says Okay. You feel offended that he’s not a typical statesman. Okay. But he is rebuilding the nation my son died for…the nation I feared was on a fast track to becoming a hopeless cause. Forgive me if I’m smiling.”
Billy and Karen Vaughn are the parents of fallen Navy SEAL, Aaron Carson Vaughn (SEAL Team VI). The downing of Extortion 17 was the day Aaron’s life ended and the day their lives began again. As Billy and Karen began searching for answers their eyes were opened to vile atrocities being played out on America’s military. They’ve now become advocates for our defenders…exposing the criminal Rules of Engagement, which have unnecessarily cost so many American soldiers their lives. Our defenders deserve to be defended. The burden of their covering rests on us, the patriots of this nation. It is imperative that we stand together and demand change. Billy and Karen spend a considerable amount of time on Capitol Hill, and have shared their story on hundreds of local, state and national radio outlets including Fox & Friends, The Today Show, The Andrew Wilkow Show, The Willis Report, The Kelly File, The Huckabee Show, Hannity’s America, Geraldo at Large, and more. Billy has authored the book on Extortion 17...

What a great post. I certainly don't want to be like Trump, nor do I want him as a friend, ut I want him as our president because he is necessary to get the job done.
I think back to stories about Stalin, what a nice man he was, kind and considerate to his neighbors nice to peoples kids. That while he was ordering the torture and murder of 8 million citizens of his country
Give me the brashness and crude language of a Trump or the "kind and gentle soul" of Stalin any day.
On a personal note I have not posted often, having SWMBO post instead of me. Right now I am having heart problems and sitting upright for extended periods of time is a challenge. Hopefully the new heart medication will help. In the meantime, have patience.
Besides SWMBO does a great job in my absence.
Hang In There NPP, I Had 5 By-Passes, 5 Years Ago Feel Pretty Good Too, Foot Seems To Be Getting Better, At Least That's What "Nurses Nell" Says, Neighbor Lady Here In Beaver Dam, Nice People Here... Don D.

My husband had quintuple by-pass surgery five years ago. He is doing great - lost 60 pounds over the past year and takes a short walk almost every day. It took him at least a year to feel completely back to normal. His mother had triple by-pass surgery 28 years ago, and she's still kickin' at 92 years! Good luck to you - you're in my prayers....one little step at a time.
