For more than two decades, men, women, and their families have chosen country over self in the Global War on Terrorism. Their belief and their courage must be remembered. It is for all of them that we will build a Memorial honoring their valor. 🇺🇸

More than 4.4 million Americans served in the GWOT and over 7,000 gave their lives. Countless families have carried the weight of that sacrifice. On #GivingTuesday, help us build a Memorial that honors every story of service. Your donation will be matched. bit.ly/3QWmZNe

Team Iron Will, As we progress into #DownSyndromeAwarenessMonth would you help us change the narrative around Down Syndrome by doing another RT/push of this post? Thank you! #TeamIronWill #DownSyndrome
The haters and many in the medical field will tell you what Down Syndrome “is” from a sterile, dehumanizing perspective. But if you don’t believe in defining individuals by a “diagnosis,” here’s a better reference point! #TeamIronWill #DownSyndromeAdvocacy #DownSyndromeAwarenessMonth teamironwill.org

One week after 9/11, the Authorization for Use of Military Force was signed into law, becaming the legal foundation for the GWOT. Brave men & women from every corner of our Nation answered the call to serve. Join us in building a Memorial for their valor: bit.ly/3QWmZN

Thoughts on #MemorialDay from @FlorentGroberg: "Today, we remember the best of us. Memorial Day is not a celebration—it’s a reckoning. A moment where the silence speaks louder than any anthem, and the weight of memory reminds us what it means to live in a free nation." 🇺🇸
