@orci I’m sorry but *what* is his military background & what qualifies him as the best judge of what we need? 🤦‍♀️ FTS… The numbers are out there if he cares to do some reading. #ArmyMom #GIBrat https://download.militaryonesource.mil/12038/MOS/Reports/2021-demographics-report.pdf

As a #GIBrat, I grew up with kids who had lost fathers in the Vietnam War. It never gets easier to read these articles, especially now as an #ArmyMom. But these should be required reading for everyone so the individual sacrifices each soldier/sailor/marine/airman makes is remembered & honored. Their families deserve our support.

The children of troops lost to Iraq War are all grown up

American families shattered by the Iraq War face an enduring sense of absence and the endless quest to understand their parents’ legacies.

So intro post (terrible at these, which explains abysmal dating record): Baptized in tech in ‘95. Originally Bay Area based, then at family-owned winery in Modesto, CA (IYKYK) running all sorts of things, the last decade heading up infosec team. Now working for a software company, dedicated to an amazing customer in SF. My side hustle? Chocolatier, w/CFO in Sacramento. Love live music/theatre, #SacramentoKings & will probably die before my beloved #MNVikings win Super Bowl. #ArmyMom #GIBrat
