There was a time when America looked to men who had been on the front lines to lead our nation. Those of us who have taken the oath of office and were willing to make the last full measure of devotion stand ready to serve our republic … there is no statute of limitations on our commitment. I endorsed Ryan Zinke in his run for Congress because he represents what this country so desperately needs at this time in her history—men and women who have served selflessly in our military turning their patriotism, knowledge, and leadership skills to “Take the High Ground,” Capitol Hill. Ryan embodies that which is exceptional about America—a modern-day Spartan. He is a decorated commander at the navy’s most elite SEAL Team. With Ryan you have an unstoppable warrior for the people. American Commander is a must-read if you want to understand the SEAL credo: Never Quit!

I am proud to have been the founding father and first commanding officer at the navy’s most elite SEAL Team and equally proud of the men in the next generation of SEALs—like Ryan Zinke (“Z”). Z and his men have taken the tactics and operational readiness of my generation to the level the world knows today. They continue to strike devastation and fear in the hearts and minds of our nation’s worst enemies and make us proud of the Trident they wear with honor.
