“People across the political spectrum agree that we aren’t getting the best people… in office,” and veterans are an “untapped resource of leadership.” Founder & director @sethlynn outlines the mission of @VeteransCampaign in an interview with @TheHill https://t.co/zQmsCOgbaX

How can Americans unite in the face of tragedy? @usfca MA in Public Leadership Prof. Patrick Murphy shares his thoughts

[Patrick J Murphy @PatrickMurphyPA]

I’ve spent much of my adult life in some type of public service, and I can say with some authority: the unity we saw after 9/11 is rare. But I can also say it shouldn’t take a national tragedy 24 years ago today, or another case of political violence a day ago, to remind us that we belong to one another.

Twenty-four years ago, when tragedy struck, Americans could still come together and agree that violence was wrong.

Today, though, every tragic event is filtered through a partisan lens. Tragedies are dissected into talking points. And in rare corners of the internet, Kirk’s death has even been celebrated with mocking derision. The man was a staunch gun advocate, but that does not mean he deserved to die by one.

We don’t have to agree with one another to recognize each other’s humanity. In fact, our democracy depends on it.

For my full thoughts on how we unite, read my latest substack. Link below:

Women Veterans Recognition Day

On June 12, 2025, we mark 77 years since the passage of the 1948 Women’s Armed Services Integration Act—a landmark law that finally granted women permanent status in the U.S. military.

@usfca @sethlynn @vetcampaign @wilson_phyllis @womensmemorial "The whole point of politics is we don't agree on everything & we have to figure something out," says @sethlynn, so "being able to disagree without being disagreeable" is critical.

Assuming good faith "will do wonders for the character of our politics in this country right now."
