THREAD: This is SSG Jason Lowe. He was 27, a top performer within his @82ndABNDiv unit and had just graduated 2nd in his class in the Army's Advanced Leader Course.

Four days after graduation, he took his own life inside his Fayetteville, N.C. apartment.
SSG Ryan Graves found him.

"He wanted to be the best," he told me. "He probably was one of the best."
The @82ndABNDiv has lost ten paratroopers to suicide this year. That number stood at four 2019 and six in 2018.

COMING HOME EARLY: 200 @82ndABNDiv paratroopers arrived back to @FtBraggNC this morning after announcement of US troop drawdown in Iraq. They’ll be heading straight into a mandatory two week quarantine.

📷: @2BCT_FALCONS Image
This has to be an incredible surprise for families this morning. @2BCT_FALCONS wasn’t expected home till at least the end of the year - but this is only a small part of the brigade.
Here’s more on the expected drawdown from @AP. apnews.com/a6d9550ea12d04…

THREAD: A day late - but wanted to share the stories of the 12 @82ndABNDiv paratroopers inducted into the #AllAmerican Hall of Fame at @FtBraggNC this week. 1/13 Image
SFC Obie Wickersham served in WWII where he was injured during the Battle of the Bulge. Wickersham chose to continue fighting on the front lines - despite a chance to move back. Years later, he was taken prisoner during the Korean War and spent 2.5 years in captivity. 2/13 ImageImage
In 1918, Captain William Cunningham continued to push his men through a WWI battle after being severely wounded in the face by shrapnel. He earned the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions in France. 3/13 Image

Spent my Friday with Gene Herrick - the legendary @AP photojournalist who captured some of the most iconic images of the civil rights movement. From Dr. King leaving court to Rosa Parks being fingerprinted, the stories he can tell are endless. ImageImageImage
Eager to put together the story next week. But one thing I’ll share until then is his response when I asked if this current movement feels different. For the first time Gene said he has hope that real change might happen for Black Americans.
And one more random Gene moment that stood out to me... After the interview, we talked about how he’s watched our business change over the years. When Gene was working for @AP, he was so committed to unbias coverage that he didn’t even tell his wife who he voted for. Image

For the 2nd time in 6 months, the @82ndABNDiv's Immediate Response Force is being activated - to respond to current unrest. Soldiers at Fort Bragg were officially alerted this afternoon. Image
They’re currently slated to leave @FtBraggNC and respond to DC in the next 24 hours. More here👇

Paratroopers on IRF rotation were given an unofficial heads up over the weekend through a phone tree - but that isn’t unusual in the 82nd. And *very* different from an official activation. Plenty at Bragg told me they didn’t expect to go.
