Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz defended his military record Tuesday amid attacks from Republicans led by his election rival, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, who has accused him of stolen valor. “These guys have — are even attacking me for my record of service,” Walz said. “And I just want to say I’m proud to serve my country, and I always will be.”“I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person’s service record,” he said. Vance last week asserted that Walz had misrepresented his military record in those remarks. “I’d be ashamed if I was him and I lied about my military service like he did,” Vance said at the time.

☆ Walz Forcefully Defends Military Record in First Solo Campaign Stop

Tim Walz of Minnesota defended himself against Republican attacks on his military service record on Tuesday in his first solo campaign event since being named Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate. “I am damn proud of my service to this country,” Mr. Walz said. “And I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person’s service record.”Mr. Walz retired from the National Guard in 2005 after 24 years, a year before his artillery battalion deployed to Iraq. At the time of his retirement, soldiers knew a deployment was possible, but the actual orders came months after Mr. Walz, then 41, had already left to run for a seat in the House of Representatives. On Tuesday, he framed that decision as another act of service.
