"I support Ken Buck for U.S. Senate because he's the kind of senator I want representing me. As a steadfast Christian, World War II veteran, husband, father, grandfather and a great-grandfather, I endorse Ken Buck because he supports our military and he has the same strong conservative and Christian values that I do.

"My years as a POW in a German concentration camp taught me to cherish freedom and our American way of life. Ken Buck is a true patriot who will fight for our freedom and defend our constitutional rights.

"I endorse Ken Buck for U.S. Senate."
