I knew Donnie as a teenager. He did not seek glory and do things to bring attention to himself. He was truly a hero and his actions in Vietnam on one fateful day were truly deserving of the Medal of Honor. Thanks Donnie for the brief time that I knew you.

I am very proud to cast my vote now and in the future in honor of the love of my life, Cynthia Sprinkle. Her recent retirement after completion of over 30 years of Naval Service, attaining the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer, AVCM(AW), stands in testimony to her dedication, devotion to duty and unyielding patriotism. She is an outstanding example of the many Sailors over the years who have stood the watch over our nation?s freedom. I am so very lucky to have her as not only a wife but a fellow Sailor.
