1/9 I am a veteran. I volunteered for military service during wartime. So did my father. His generation saved the world from fascism.

- Replying to @Captsully9/9 We owe it not only to those who have served and sacrificed for our nation, but to ourselves and to succeeding generations to vote him out. bit.ly/3h07oXQ @JeffreyGoldberg @TheAtlantic
- Replying to @Captsully8/9 He cannot understand selflessness because he is selfish. He cannot conceive of courage because he is a coward. He cannot feel duty because he is disloyal.
- Replying to @Captsully6/9 While I am not surprised, I am disgusted by the current occupant of the Oval Office. He has repeatedly and consistently shown himself to be completely unfit for and to have no respect for the office he holds.
- Replying to @Captsully5/9 For the first time in American history, a president has repeatedly shown utter and vulgar contempt and disrespect for those who have served and died serving our country.
- Replying to @Captsully7/9 He took an oath of office that is similar to the one that each person takes who enters the U.S. Military. But he has completely failed to uphold his oath. Now we know why. He has admitted that he cannot comprehend the concept of service above self.
- Nine years ago today, a routine flight turned into a life-changing moment for 155 people. While I reflect today on #Flight1549, I am continuously inspired by how crew, passengers, rescuers and first responders rose to the occasion to save every life. Photo via @CNN
- Replying to @Captsully2/9 In our travels, my wife Lorrie and I have always made it a point to visit military bases, hospitals and cemeteries, to meet and honor those who serve and have served our nation.
- Replying to @Captsully4/9 But this situation calls for a much more direct approach. It is time to call out egregious behavior for what it is.
- Replying to @Captsully3/9 I have long known that serving a cause greater than oneself is the highest calling, whether in the military or in civilian life. And I have always tried to be a voice of reason and to speak in a measured way.
- 1/3 On this day 13 years ago #Flight1549 changed my life, the lives of my family and the lives of passengers, crew members and first responders. And as the years roll by, the memories I have from the events of that day do not fade.
- My family enjoyed the surprise of this #Halloween episode from @AbbottElemABC last week (I agree, Harriet Tubman should have had a movie before me, too).
GIF - To my friends on Twitter, I will be taking a step back from the platform for now. Connect with me on Facebook, LinkedIn or Instagram to stay informed and hear my latest personal and professional updates.
- 44 years ago this week I became an airline pilot and began a three decade career that I loved. #CaptSully #Pilot #Anniversary
