There was some pleasant news for Donald Trump from the military community as 88 retired generals and admirals endorsed the Republican nominee in an open letter released Tuesday, according to The New York Times.
At an event organized by Major Gen. Sidney Shachnow, a 40-year Army veteran and Holocaust survivor, and Rear Admiral Charles Williams, Trump's campaign unveiled the letter, ahead of a speech on veterans affairs in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Military officials endorsed his presidential campaign, urging a "long overdue course correction in our national security posture."
\While Shachnow declared that Trump "has the temperament to be commander-in-chief," Williams called the Republican nominee "more trusted" than Clinton, according to Politico.
The letter, which was signed by 88 retired military figures, comes at a time when the campaign gears up for a discussion on national security, with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump jointly participating in the event.
"The 2016 election affords the American people an urgently needed opportunity to make a long overdue course correction in our national security posture and policy," the letter states.
