Johnson Elementary Veterans Appreciation Assembly: Thanking those who served By Victor Joecks Special to the Pahrump Valley Times November 11, 2026 - 4:20 am Republicans’ dismal showing in 2026 has made their 2028 presidential primary much more interesting. It has long seemed likely that President Donald Trump’s support would decide the 2028 GOP presidential nomination. He has dominated Republican Party politics for a decade. His ardent base adores him for bucking the amnesty-pushing GOP establishment and for numerous accomplishments. This seemed to suggest that Trump would endorse a presidential candidate, putting him or her on a glide path to the nomination. The most likely candidate was Vice President JD Vance. His position made him the obvious successor. He’s extremely intelligent and well-spoken.

Nearby: Chariton, IAFor Earl Comstock, service has meant more than simply wearing a military uniform, milking cows on the farm or keeping Lucas County Veterans Memorial Park tidy and growing in downtown Chariton. It has meant responsibility, perseverance, persistence and a commitment to give back. Stick with the difficult job, find a way to keep going when things don’t go as planned and be an active member of your community, he says. Those are life lessons he has followed consistently from the Marine Corps to the farm and, eventually, into decades of work honoring veterans and serving his town. “I think the military preaches you persistence,” Comstock said. “We don’t care how many times you go down; it’s how many times you get on your feet. That’s the only thing that counts. And that translates to farming, too.” Comstock, 85, and his wife, Linda, have spent their years serving others — the epitome of a life devoted to family, the military and community.
