Julien and I have
worked on a number of campaigns to help veterans suffering from
TBI/PTSD/Depression. Julien is passionate about helping
integrate veterans back into their community and sees this as a
vital step to improving the life of our Fallen War Heroes.
Julien has pledged to me that when elected to the U.S. House of
Representatives for Virginia's 10th Congressional District, he
will lead Congress in the area of veteran health by making it a
legislative priority.
Julien's personal history overcoming a sports related brain
injury give him the knowledge and the experience to champion
this issue. I wholeheartedly endorse Julien Modica's campaign to
become Virginia's next 10th Congressional District
Representative in the U.S. House of Representatives.

I write today in support of Julien Modica for Virginias 10th
Congressional District. If what we want from our elected leaders
is true leadership then I can think of no others that can
compare with Julien.
Those students of history may recall Alexander the Great of
Macedon (356323 BC). In just 33 short years Alexander conquered
the entire known civilized world. An empire the world has not
seen before or since. How, one may ask, was one so young able to
accomplish so much? The answer is simple: leadership.
Alexander led from the front. He led the charge. He led by
example. This simple fact demonstrated to his troops, and to his
foes as well, his commitment, dedication, honor and discipline.
Like Alexander, Julien posses each of these traits. Unlike
Alexander, however, Julien adds understanding, compassion and a
willingness to listen to others. Julien leads from the front.
The example that Julien has set before us is unwavering and
inspirational. As a true leader Julien demonstrates to us what
ultimate potential can be unleashed in each and every one of us.
What more can we ask from our leadership than that?
I will not bore the reader with the details of the terrible pole
vault accident Julien suffered in 1976. As one who was there let
me say the fact that Julien is still with us speaks volumes
about his strength. I speak not of his physical strength rather
of his strength of will. His unrelenting determination to
persevere and succeed is exemplary. I was the first to reach
Julien as he lay on the gym floor. I rode with him in the
ambulance to the hospital. I well remember the trauma Julien
suffered. It was severe and in all likelihood he should not have
survived that night. Yet he did. His fate was not written that
evening. Julien's destiny is waiting to be fulfilled.
I first became eligible to vote in the 1980 elections. I voted
for Ronald Regan, twice. In fact I have never voted for a
Democrat at the top of the ticket in my life. The truth is I
have only voted for three Democrats in my life. (Bill Spoon,
Orange County Florida School Board; Bob Graham, former Florida
Governor and United States Senator; Bill Nelson, current Florida
senior United States Senator) If I were able to, Julien would be
my fourth. As it stands I will gladly give of my
time and my money to help elect such a fine and worthy
candidate. For many years I was a registered Republican. Only
recently have I changed to no party affiliation. As one who
leans right I never thought I would be so supportive of an
opposition party candidate.
I do not give my support lightly. I take my civic responsibility
seriously. I take the time to research the issues and the
candidates. Today, more than ever, we need responsible and
focused politicians in Washington D.C. Moreover, and, in my
opinion, more importantly, we need ethical leaders. We need
people in leadership positions who truly understand and relate
to the constituencies they represent. Our great republic is in
peril. Many complex issues confront us at every turn. We
need intelligent and moral leaders at such an important time in
our history. We need Julien Modica to represent us. We need his
unrivaled dedication to purpose. We need his intellect to help
solve our common problems. His commitment to improve the lives
of others is without question. And finally, Juliens discipline
and honor are unmatched. In short, we need Julien in Congress.

I did not know
Julien Modica very well at Herndon High School, though we were
in the same grade. But I do remember a vibrant, athletic young
man with flowing blond hair who excelled at sports and seemed to
have a definite idea of where he wanted to go in life. I also
remember the terrible day when we heard that Julien had missed
the landing mat at an indoor track meet and had suffered a
traumatic brain injury. At the time, it was not even certain
Julien would survive, and if he did, it was not known if he
would ever regain his full motor function. Then, about a year or
two later, I happened to be driving down North Shore Drive in
Reston, Virginia, and saw a young man running along the side of
the road. He was not really running, but was staggering, and it
was obvious that the very act of running was taking every fiber
of his being as he made his slow, painful progress. I knew a
second later that this was Julien, and I thought, what an
amazing guy that he is out here, creeping along the side of the
road, sweat pouring off of him, to regain his former fitness. It
was an inspiration to me then, and it continues to be to this
day. When I was injured in a car accident some years ago and a
doctor told me he was not sure I'd be able to run again, I
thought of Julien, and resolved to do so. I have been running
ever since. When I shared Julien's story with my high school
students this week, I told them of his incredible resolve,
passion, and discipline, and my classes shared my wonder that a
man can suffer such a catastrophic injury and move onwards to
such heights.
I am an
internationally-known military aviation historian. I am apolitical, but
I firmly believe that men like Julien are one in a million, and
that a man like him is exactly the kind of man we need to turn
around the gridlock and the narcissism that plagues government.
I endorse him whole-heartedly, all the way from rural Idaho,
USA.

My memories of
Julien are larger than life. While this was 30 years ago in high
school I still remember his athletic prowess, leadership skills,
good humor and ultimate fortitude. Many looked up to Julien
because he was a gifted athlete. However what really set him
apart from his peers – and what carries him today - are the
leadership skills and tenacity that he exhibits. These skills
will serve him well as a public figure in Congress.
