Not all heroes wear capes.

Sometimes, someone standing by your side so you feel that little less alone in the world - even for a moment - can mean more than words.

Today the Trump Administration ended TPS for Afghans on the grounds that it is now a safe place to return.
We know this is untrue, and it's a total betrayal of our allies - especially for women and girls, who have been stripped of their rights under the Taliban. #AfghanEvac #BattleBuddies #IAVA

Hospitals struggle, hunger surges in Afghanistan amid U.S. aid cuts The U.S. provided more than 40 percent of humanitarian support to Afghanistan until Trump’s recent cuts. Aid groups warn the impacts could be devastating.

Placing a coin at the final resting place of Cpl Patrick Nixon, Charlie Company, 1st Battalion 2nd Marines, section 60, Arlington National Cemetery

Sunday March 23, 2003. 22 years ago today the Battle of An Nasiriysh Iraq. As a young Corporal I experienced the reality of what it meant to be at the tip of the spear in modern combat. That battle has been with me since and I'll never forget my brothers who did not come home with me. #marines #iava

Paul Reickoff has always been a great advocate for veterans. I appreciate the work of IAVA and all those who spoke up, because for many of us disabled vets, the VA is how we survive. They are a pain in the behind in many instances, but they have saved my life and are keeping me going
