Last year the United States lost one of its greatest Warriors that has ever served in our Armed Forces, SFC Jorge Otero. I was Blessed to have the opportunity to get to know him when I lived in Puerto Rico years ago . I made him a promise and I intend to keep it…..

I was at Legion Americana Puesto 14 (American Legion Post 14) one day and Jorge told me he had a few shirts at home that were pretty cool that he was going to give me . The next day , he shows up with the shirts and something so profound that I will never forget . He said “ I now owe you, nothing.” And smiled. He said “ when you make a promise , you create a debt. When you have fulfilled that promise , you are then even. So…. I promised you the shirts. I brought you the shirts and fulfilled that promise. I now owe you , nothing “. And smiled again.

It was not an accident that the lesson was repeated twice in that conversation. He wanted to make sure that I understood what he was trying to teach me . Jorge was a leader of his soldiers and always training. 

I made Jorge a promise that I would do everything I could to help him receive the Medal of Honor that he rightfully deserves. He did not ask for that . I offered because I knew it to be the right thing to do . 

One day , when the United States recognizes his Valor properly with the Medal of Honor that he deserves….. I will visit his grave. As I render that slow , respectful salute…. With tears in my eyes and a smile on my face I will say ….. “Sergeant Rock… I now owe you,nothing.”

My petition that I created a few years ago was originally directed to my congressman, Congressman Jim Baird. There has been a good amount of noise created by myself and others in regards to this . I have a pretty darn good feeling that he knows what the deal is. In this time I have not heard one single , solitary word from him . I am now shifting gears and have re-directed the petition decision maker to President Donald J. Trump.

I would like to ask you to sign and share this petition , please. While there is much going on in your life and the world in general, this would only take a minute.thank you. 

I am going to keep pushing forward.

Always forward.
