A letter penned by a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps thanking Bernie Sanders for his NO vote on the Iraq War is going viral.
Tuesday morning, Reddit user CharlieDarwinsFather authored a post titled An open letter to Bernie Sanders from a Veteran of the Iraq War and submitted it to the SandersforPresident subreddit, an online community where supporters of the Vermont U.S. Senator share links about the anti-establishment presidential candidate. The author, who fought in the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines based in Camp LeJeune in North Carolina, was part of combat missions in the second battle of Fallujah in 2005 and 2006, and again in 2007. After thanking Sanders for opposing the Iraq War, he talked about the need for more politicians like Sanders who take a stand against endless war to protect the lives of his constituents.

Senator Sanders,
I want to thank you. I want to thank you for exercising sound judgement even when everyone around you was beating the war drums.
