Billions of dollars in separation pay + bonuses have been clawed back from veterans Patricia Kime reports: military.com/daily-news/202…
🧵 @AfghanEvac has built lasting and meaningful relationships with the The White House, Department of State, and more. This thread will explain what we talked about & how we’ve built those relationships over the last three years, all in service to helping our Afghan allies and friends.
Just got my autographed copy of Canyon of Hope by my good friend Eric Donoho, retired Army Sergeant, Iraq Veteran, Purple Heart recipient, & fellow #PACTAct advocate. Inspirational story of strength & resilience following his transition home. A must read! a.co/d/6dtyCK2
Some good context and a thread here by Dan Lamothe. Feel free to ask an Afghanistan veteran if you're forming opinions and you weren't there.
As a #GoldStarWife…I might take this down but I have answered this question about 8-10 times a day on SM & also in person. So here. It is not political. It is just life.#HonorAndRemember #SayTheirNames Arlington National Cemetery (sending so much gratitude to the men & women who work at ANC)
Good article with Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman on servicemember quality of life. This underscores the importance of our work at Blue Star Families 🇺🇸. (For the record, I never wore dual polo shirts, but yes on the popped collar) militarytimes.com/news/your-mili…
Eric Donoho is someone I hold in the highest regard — and if you know me, you know there are no empty platitudes in that statement. He served this country as a Scout Sniper in war zones, a profession that requires immense premeditation, discipline, and the ability to endure
Happy Friday Annandale High School friends. Looks like Fairview elementary has the spirit in support of military families. Would be great if #AtomNation and the rest of Fairfax Schools 🌟 did the same! facebook.com/FairviewESfcps…
What's the best way to follow up last night's first Swifty NFL game of the season? My kid singing the National Anthem at the first Annandale High School football game of the year! #AtomNation
