Getting a Presidential Medal of Freedom for donating money to the Republican party is not the same as sacrificing your life in service to the country.
This is clearly disrespectful towards Medal of Honor recipients, their families, and anyone you served.
Here are the Congressional Medal of Honor recipients from the conflict I served in.
Sergeant First Class Paul R. Smith is one of those names.
I have so much respect for him, I visited the site of the event during my tour just to honor his sacrifice.
GOP budget cuts could jeopardize authorized programs & services, including those for disabled veterans, military sexual trauma survivors & homeless vets.
Biden-Harris Administration Announces Most Sweeping Set of Executive Actions to Improve Care in History
Veteran Impact Thread
whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
The Executive Order directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to improve access to home-based care for veterans who require support with activities of daily living, like bathing and getting dressed, by giving them more decision-making power over who delivers that care and when.

Elon Musk borrowed $13 billion to buy Twitter.
Banks that lent him money are trying to offload those loans for less than 60 cents on the dollar.
He will keep destroying Twitter to drop that even lower so he can get to a point where he can buy Twitter's debt outright.
All of this is intentional.

I need everyone to ge ready for a massive Tweetstorm.
Tomorrow the Senate is going to revote the #PACTAct.
As soon as you wake up on Monday, Tweet and share as many posts as you can with #PassThePACTAct
You have 24 hours to prepare content that supports burn pit veterans.
Want to start today, go wild.
After getting 84 votes in the Senate less than 2 months ago, the Senate Republicans blocked the PACT Act after it was revoted on to correct an error.
This impacts 3.5 million burn pit and Agent Orange veterans who could have received access to health care.
Advocates died fighting for this bill.
Instead of spending their last days with their families, they fought to help their fellow veterans.
Now, more veterans will die waiting for help that was just within our reach but may never come.
Don't ever thank me for my service again.

Using the speed of light and speed of sound, how far away is this lightning strike?
And my phone did not appreciate this...

Every tweet I post about the Honoring Our Pact Act, I must deal with the situation I'm living with regarding my own exposure along with reliving difficult experiences with my service that I would rather forget.
I can't carry this weight alone.
Please pass this bill this week.
I lost brothers and sisters while fighting in Iraq.
I never expected to lose brothers and sisters while fighting for a bill to be passed.
Advocates died waiting for this bill.
I can't let this fail for them.

On March 24th, 2006, I began my mission at Balad Airbase in Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. For the next 15 months, I would serve my country proudly. One enemy prove to be the greatest risk to my future; a silent enemy in the form of toxic burn pits.
This is my story.
At Joint Base Balad, government contractors (KBR and/or its subcontractors) burned aerosols, paints, plastics, Styrofoam, rubber, metals, building materials, machinery, military vehicles, batteries, polyvinyl, solvents, tires, asbestos insulation, chemicals, and body parts.
