Just before the crowd was allowed to take their seats inside the Judd Gregg Auditorium for Monday night’s Town Hall forum, Congressman Ron Paul had an understated moment with a small group of fellow veterans, all supporters of Paul for President and his interest in ending the current war.
They had come to publicly endorse Paul’s candidacy. They had come, they said, because Paul is the lone voice for sensibility and has a message of truth for a world that has been fractured, in every way, by prolonged war.
Joshua Holmes, 24, of Manchester, has supported Ron Paul since 2008. He was an infantryman with the Army for two tours in Iraq. He’s seen friends die in combat — but he’s lost even more friends, of late, to suicide.
“I support our troops, but there is no mission there. This is why more veterans support Ron Paul than all the other candidates put together,” Holmes said.
“I was a freshman in high school when 9/11 happened. I have served two tours and am out of the military, and the war is still going on. That’s not how it was in past wars. That’s not how it was supposed to be,” Holmes said.
Paul spent about 90 minutes in total, speaking on some of his key platforms, including his interest in dismantling the Federal Reserve, promoting a free market economy and rebuilding the country based on true liberty for all.

Bravo2….out
Ron Paul is the only real true liberty candidate on that stage.His boycott prooves that fact.
The dark forces tend to silence the messenger of truth, history holds so many examples.
Forgetting history, is inviting it’s repetiton? As a collective society, we forget easily the past.
We should not live in the past, but we must not forget the traps and there are many.
Ron Paul knows wnat needs to be don to get this country back on the track of recovery and we need to stand by him every step of the way.
