Tomorrow is Armed Forces Day — a chance to honor every American still standing the watch. As a soldier who survived an IED in Afghanistan on my own Alive Day, I know the weight of that uniform. Grateful beyond words for those who serve today. The mission never stops. 🇺🇸 Tag who you’re honoring and tell us why in the replies! #DutyFirst

I know setbacks. I was blown up in Afghanistan and spent years fighting through hospitals and rehab. I made it not because I am special but because I refused to quit. You can do it too. Keep pushing. Your best days are still ahead.

Fellow GWOT Veterans- I understand we all have strong feelings about the design concept of the GWOT Memorial. But remember who’s behind it: Rod Rodríguez, a 21-year Green Beret with 10 deployments from a multi-generational military family. His grandfathers served in WWII, father in Vietnam, his wife served 21 years with 6 deployments, and his son deployed to the same parts of Afghanistan he did. He was medically retired from his own combat injuries. Design co-chair Jennifer Ballou is a retired Army Master Sergeant, GWOT vet, and Gold Star spouse. While she was deployed in Afghanistan, her husband SSG Edwardo Loredo was killed by an IED just before his 35th birthday. Not only have they both sacrificed more than most in service to country, they’ve gathered feedback from over 20,000 GWOT veterans and families. This memorial is about honoring our fallen. Our collective personal preferences will never have 100% agreement, so we should resist trying to publicly destroy a concept that some will love, others dislike but regardless many Americans will see as a sacred place to honor those we loved who served and sacrificed their very lives. Use the GWOT Memorial Foundation survey for constructive input. Leaders and those with influence should request private conversations and avoid public attacks that could prejudice so many others. At the end of this process, our GWOT fallen deserve a memorial in a place of honor at the heart of DC. Whether it is this proposed design concept or one born out of feedback gathered now, let’s keep our focus on the mission of honoring those who gave their lives for us and the country they loved. 🇺🇸
