Subject/Title: Just to let my Rep know)

(Name), keeping in contact for status over the past six months of the Vietnam lapel pin was like a virtual friendship, and my thanks for your getting the job done are sincere. But what are (virtual) friends for if we don't say the real stuff? So here goes:

So, just letting you know that after I focused on the pin itself, it dawned on me that the "Proclamation" included was from TRUMP with his scrawl on it. I removed it from the materials and will give it the Speaker PELOSI treatment of the State of the Union paper. I realize that it's a formality like having the picture of whoever the president is at Federal facilities.

We military when on active duty are not political, but I'm a veteran civilian now, and am a total, life-long Democratic member. I'm happy so far that Congressman (Name) has been saying the Democratic things and voting that way. Keep it up. Thanks again.
