Hundreds of military family members released a letter Friday saying they endorse Democrat Joe Biden for president.
In the letter, posted to militaryfamiliesforbiden.com, more than 300 people whose loved ones serve in the military blasted President Donald Trump and laid out their endorsement of Biden, a former vice president.
"When the White House threatens to use the military to 'dominate' the streets, it pits our service members against their peaceful fellow citizens and the First Amendment. When our foreign policy abandons allies we have fought side-by-side with for years — as happened with the Kurds in Syria — Donald Trump makes a mockery of the loyalty that we prize," the letter reads.
"His actions have also convinced us that he does not value the lives of those who serve — people whom we call 'husband,' 'wife,' 'daughter,' 'son,' 'sister,' 'brother,' 'mom,' or 'dad.' He gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a pass for putting bounties on the heads of our troops in Afghanistan. He picked a fight with Gold Star parents. He mocked the sacrifices of POWs, saying he liked the service members 'that weren't captured.'"
The letter then turned to Biden, referencing his own family's position as a military family. His sons Beau and Hunter both served.
"Joe and Jill Biden are a military family. They are intimately familiar with the fear, anxiety, and pride that come with sending a loved one into harm's way," the letter reads. "But they are more than a military family. They have been staunch advocates for service members, veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors. They have taken time to meet with military families, to better understand the challenges we face."
The letter ends, "Joe Biden is a man of integrity with a lifelong record of public service and leadership. He is respected around the world as a statesman and a good and honest man. He will be a steady, smart, and engaged Commander-in-Chief.
"We believe America must elect Joe Biden as the next President of the United States, and we will vote for him. We hope those who care about America's military families will join us."
