Maryland Gov. Wes Moore celebrated Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s military career and completing the « mission, » despite outrage from vets over Walz’s military retirement.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, during his Democratic National Convention speech Wednesday, praised Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s military career and for completing the « mission », despite ongoing criticism over Walz retiring from the Army National Guard before his unit deployed to Iraq.
« My fellow veteran, my brother and the next vice president of the United States, Tim Walz », the Maryland Democrat said from the Chicago stage at the United Center Wednesday evening.
« Tim knows that in the military, you count the days towards mission completion », Moore, an Army veteran, continued. « So guess what, y’all? We have got 75 days and a wake up until Election Day. Seventy-five days and a wake up for us to prove what Americans can do when the pressure is on. »
« Patriots do not whine and complain. We put our heads down, and we get to work. »
Walz served 24 years in the Army National Guard before retiring in 2005, when he launched a successful congressional campaign and served as a member of the U.S. House representing Minnesota from 2007 until 2019.
