To whom it may concern, 

I am a US Army combat veteran and household investor.  I strongly support the commission's proposed tick size regime across all exchanges, and I support unambiguous language in the rule structure to avoid any confusion and manipulation. 
Please accelerate the implementation of the revised round lot definition and odd lot dissemination on the SIP to enhance reporting efficiency and reduce delays. Please also Implement a variable minimum pricing increment model that applies to both quoting and trading of NMS stocks to promote fair and transparent pricing across trading venues. As an investor, I need to be ensured that my money is not being manipulated by bad actors taking advantage of bunk, falsified data. And I fully support an additional 0.64 cents more a share to avoid being routed through a wholesaler (Citadel Securities) that has been charged over 70 times by the United States government. 

Thank you,
