Toward the end of my Oct. 6 post — which spelled out the reasons I’ve decided to back Sen. Obama for President — I acknowledged that this decision would likely anger some of my family because they believe McCain is the more pro-military candidate, and we happen to have a cherished member of our family in the military.

I only hope those family members take time to consider the larger picture and recognize that individuals (and families) can legitimately be for Obama and for the military — a point this new video from Blue Star Families for Obama (BSF4O) drives home. BSF4O is a grassroots organization created by Army and Marine spouses.
