It’s moving season for many of our service members. We understand that the process is difficult and needs to be fixed. That’s why we are overhauling the PCS process to make it easier for our service members and their families.

"In a month, Afghans may be deported back to a government that remains allied with al Qaeda. We asked for their help... and at infinite personal risk, they gave it. Then we offered our help, a safe place to live—and now we’re going back on our word." thebulwark.com/p/this-memoria…

It turned into a beautiful day to pay tribute to those who have given all. I'm so glad that 11th Wing JBAB Commander, Col. Ryan Crowley and his wife Lisa, represented Blue Star Families 🇺🇸 and presented a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

And the day on the Hill is off to an amazing start. Pouring and front door closed. Line out Rayburn Horseshoe. Embrace the suck!

I'm in a competition with my Blue Star Families 🇺🇸 colleagues to see who can get more military/veteran family members to take our annual survey. Take a few minutes to give your input that helps our advocacy efforts. Thanks for your time! #BlueStarImpact tinyurl.com/53zmzrtz

Off to the mall with my kid where she will ask me to buy something and that she'll pay me back, but then try to make me feel bad for wanting her to actually pay me back.

Big mistake by Maggiano's Little Italy in canceling their BOGO half off for pasta takeout. With great local Italian joints where they are, no reason to pay the $90 for three pastas I just bought. Let me know when you bring it back and I'll come back. It's the only reason I came.
