A reporter asked JD Vance about the widow of fallen airman Alex, she’s struggling to get benefits because the conflict hasn’t been “officially declared a war.” She’s got three young kids.
Vance didn’t spin it. Didn’t dodge it.
He asked for her private contact info and said the White House would reach out as soon as the briefing ended to make sure she gets everything she’s entitled to.
His message to her: we love you. We’re grateful for the sacrifice. We take very seriously our commitment to get you what you need.
That’s how you treat the family of a man who died serving this country. Fix it. Don’t bury it in paperwork.
