(NewsNation) — More than 1,000 veterans, service members and families signed a letter supporting Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and commending his military service as Republicans have launched attacks on Walz about his time in the military.[/quote]

Both Vance and Walz enlisted in the military as a springboard, attending college with the help of the GI Bill. Signs of their political aspirations, talent and leadership skills were clearly evident to those who knew them best in the military. In interviews with more than a dozen veterans who served with either Walz or Vance, a picture emerges of two men who exhibited attributes while in uniform that would guide their political careers.

For those who served closely with Walz, it was his positive mindset that most defined him – a sentiment that was echoed by his former students. For those who knew Vance, they spoke of a young Marine who was mature beyond his years and could do jobs typically given to more senior officers.

Walz’s military service, from his retirement to a statement about carrying weapons in war, has come under scrutiny since Kamala Harris choose him as her running mate – including from Vance, who went after Walz the day after his selection.  While there have been several veterans of Walz’s unit who have spoken out against him, many of those who knew him best say the criticism is unjustified.

“I don’t follow too many people. But in the few years that he was my first sergeant, I will follow him anywhere, if that says anything about his character,” said retired Sgt. David Bonnifield, who served under Walz in the Minnesota Guard. “Once you are his soldier, you are always his soldier. He will always want to help.”[/quote]
