30+ years ago, Dr. Ben Carson performed life saving surgery on my friend who was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 15.
Today, she is a healthy mother of 3 children. We loved him then and continue to love and hold him in high regard in the political arena.
He has proven throughout the years... in word and deed, a solid voice of reason.
I'm so very thankful for his commitment to faith, work and patroitism- a bearer of light in a time of confusion and dissention.
May God bless Dr. Carson and keep him safe and healthy.

Dr. Ben Carson gave the most meaningful speech. Short but impactful and profound. Hopefully he’s the Surgeon General in Trumps cabinet.
