After his life-saving actions as part of the GRS team during the #Benghazi attacks, @MarkGeistSWP has made several appearances to recount his story, was a co-author of the 13 Hours book and a consultant for the movie. (1/5)
Shadow Warriors Project is a foundation started by @MarkGeistSWP and dedicated to the support of private military security contractors conducting paramilitary security operations in some of the world's most dangerous areas. @ShadowWarriorsP (2/5)
Shadow Warriors Project has a unique focus on private contractors who often go overlooked despite their heroic work defending our country. As @MarkGeistSWP exemplified in #Benghazi, shadow warriors stay in the fight to protect their brothers, comrades, and countrymen. (3/5)
Although the private security contractor has served in the military he is considered a civilian and does not receive the same support offered to injured active military or veterans. (4/5)
Shadow Warriors Project serves the private contractor by offering financial support through heartfelt donations. By easing the load of these injured warriors it allows them to focus on healing, as an individual as well as the family unit. shadowwarriorsproject.org (5/5)

The "Dear Colleague" letter describing H.R. 2315 reads as follows: “In view of the recent sixth anniversary of the September 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S Consulate and classified annex in Benghazi, Libya, (2/6)

After years of trying to dupe the public into believing that "the fog of war" kept her from knowing the truth behind the #Benghazi attacks, @HillaryClinton wrote definitively in her 2014 book "Hard Choices" that it was terrorism as if this was the story she told all along. (1/7)
In an attempt to correct her post-Benghazi narrative which squarely blamed the anti-Islam YouTube video, @HillaryClinton now was emphasizing in her book that she used terms such as "heavily armed militias," "violent attackers," and "extremists." (2/7)
In "Hard Choices" @HillaryClinton wrote that on 9/12/12 she "laid out the facts as we knew them" to the press corps, reporting that "heavily armed militants" had assaulted the #Benghazi compound. But she makes no mention that for the 2nd day in a row she blamed the video. (3/7)

4 months after GRS team members were made to sign new NDAs in an attempt to silence them, then-CIA Director John Brennan wrote a letter to congressional oversight committees denying even presenting the #Benghazi survivors with NDAs to sign. (1/8)
Responding to the question “Has any officer, either staff of contractor, been required to sign any non-disclosure agreement because of their presence at Benghazi or their participation in any activity related to the Benghazi attacks?” Brennan falsely answered "No." (2/8)
Brennan and his defenders changed their story each time their previous claims proved difficult to defend, digging themselves a deeper hole lie after lie: (3/8)
GRS team members Kris Paronto, @JohnTiegen, @MarkGeistSWP and "Jack Silva" were presented with NEW non-disclosure agreements when they attended a ceremony at CIA headquarters in Langley, VA honoring their slain friends Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty on 5/21/13. (1/5)
Shortly before the service began, a CIA representative approached the 4 men and led them away from the public gathering space near the CIA museum through one office, then through another, until they finally arrived at a back room far removed from the ceremony. (2/5)
When the door shut behind them, a CIA official handed each man a small packet of papers and with very little explanation asked them, one by one, to review and sign the documents. As the men began to read the papers it did not take long to realize that they were NDAs. (3/5)
