One year ago we passed along the sad news that Gen Michael Hayden (@GenMhayden), our founder and former Director of CIA and NSA, had suffered a major stroke. Today we are thrilled to report on his amazing and fantastic recovery. /1
With your prayers and support, @GenMhayden has faced his recovery with the same grit and determination he applied to his nearly 40-year career serving our nation. /2
In recent months @GenMhayden has offered public remarks at three major events, conducted a touching and brave interview on @CNN with @donlemon, and co-authored multiple op-eds with @neal_katyal, @DavidPriess, and his daughter-in-law Jessica. /3 .
With @donlemon, @GenMhayden offered touching remarks about surviving a stroke and rebuilding his life, but didn't let the opportunity pass to make news with comments about @realDonaldTrump and foreign government help in elections. /4 cnn.com/2019/06/28/pol…
.@GenMhayden's op-ed with @neal_katyal broke ground by calling for a Presidential impeachment inquiry. /5 washingtonpost.com/opinions/micha…
The op-ed @GenMhayden wrote with @DavidPriess touched on what Robert Mueller got right in his report on Russian attacks on our democracy. /6 lawfareblog.com/what-mueller-g…
And in the piece he wrote with Jessica, @GenMhayden offered profound insights into his stroke and recovery, receiving praise from stroke survivors and their families for his candor, showing even in adverse times his innate sense of public service. /7 cnn.com/2019/05/02/opi…
And a video @GenMHayden made for @GiffordsCourage a few months before the stroke continued to resonate in the fight against gun violence in America. "There is No Other Side" /8
On behalf of @GenMhayden and his family, we at the Hayden Center and @ScharSchool offer our wholehearted gratitude for the outpouring of love and support you have shown this past year. You have buoyed their and our spirits and contributed to his significant progress. /9
But a stroke recovery journey is a long one with assorted peaks and valleys. Your continued prayers and support are welcome and needed. And learn more about strokes and consider a donation to the @American_Stroke Association. /10 stroke.org
