Ingrid Ponce,
Orange Park, FL
In the years of his (Mr. Trump) first Presidency term:
A white man mocked, harassed and tried to run over me with his huge truck in a Florida gas station. His hostility towards me stopped only when a young Asian man at the gas station called his attention and told him to stop.
A caucasian woman sped-up and tried to run over me with her antique sedan in a California shopping parking lot.
They only see a short Latina: they do not know that I am a disabled veteran who stayed for 20 years in the military. They do not know that I sacrificed my mind, my memories, my happy self, and that I now live trapped in constant fear with nightmares, and see and hear things that are not there (that I live with PTSD) after my tour in a war zone. They do not know that I would do it again (enlist in the Military) because I love The United States, that I would sacrifice myself, for their peaceful existence, for their family, for their freedom.
