I Stand with Secretary Pete Hegseth. Because Standards Matter

As a veteran, a nurse practitioner, and someone who’s dedicated my life to service — I know what happens when standards slip. Lives are lost, accountability fades, and the mission suffers. That’s why Pete Hegseth’s message about restoring standards in America struck such a deep chord with me.

What Secretary Hegseth is doing through the War Department isn’t just about military readiness — it’s about rebuilding the backbone of our country. It’s about reestablishing discipline, personal responsibility, and excellence in every part of American life.

I’ve witnessed the consequences of a culture that celebrates mediocrity instead of mastery. When we stop demanding the best from ourselves, we weaken the very foundation that protects our freedom. America was built on courage, sacrifice, and a relentless drive to be better — not on excuses or lowered expectations.

Why Pete Hegseth’s Message Matters

Secretary Hegseth understands that we are in a different kind of war now — not just on the battlefield, but a war for the heart and soul of this nation. A war against complacency, moral decay, and the erosion of the values that make America great.

As someone who has served both in uniform and in healthcare, I’ve seen how strong leadership changes everything. When standards are upheld, people rise to meet them. When they’re abandoned, chaos fills the void.

That’s why I fully stand behind Pete Hegseth and the mission of the War Department — to reignite America’s fighting spirit, to honor our warriors past and present, and to remind us all that strength, faith, and conviction still matter.

Strength. Faith. Conviction.

It’s time to stop apologizing for excellence.
It’s time to restore pride in our institutions.
It’s time to raise the standard again — for our troops, for our children, and for our country.
