He is a former newspaper reporter and a retired California CPA (Certified Public Accountant).<\/P>\n<P>Jim is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and recipient of the Purple Heart award for wounds sustained while serving with an infantry unit in Vietnam, 1968 - 1969.<\/P>\n<P>Mr. Gilchrist is a passionate defender of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and an avid supporter of law enforcement organizations. He has appeared on over&nbsp;3,500 radio and TV news and commentary shows in shows in the past twelve months, and he believes he is only one of millions of 21st century minutemen \/ women \/ children who want the U.S. to remain governed by the \"rule of law\" and who want proactive enforcement of our national security protections and our immigration legal code.<\/P>\n<P>Jim has lived in California since 1976 and currently resides in Aliso Viejo with his wife, Sandy.<\/P>\n<P><STRONG>BIO - James (Jim) Gilchrist<\/STRONG><\/P>\n<P><STRONG>FOUNDER OF THE MINUTEMAN PROJECT<\/STRONG><\/P>\n<P><STRONG>BIRTH DATE:<\/STRONG> January 13, 1949<\/P>\n<P><STRONG>FROM:<\/STRONG><BR>Aliso Viejo, CA.
