When Navy reservist Linda Jones didn’t get a promotion at her civilian job, she asked her manager what she could have done better. "He lowered his voice and said, ‘It’s not you at all,’” she says. The problem: “You’re military.” My story @thewarhorsenews: https://t.co/tlgHGQSNqP

Today is my fist day at my new job as an Investigative Reporter for The War Horse, a national military and veterans news organization. Last week, in preparation for our mission, our staff got together for brainstorming, team-building, and a bit of inspiration. 👇

I’m late on this but wow.

I just learned I received Best News Special or Public Affairs award (pub radio/metro market) from the Colorado Broadcasters Association!

It was for my 2021 Veterans Day special @KUNC. Thanks to veterans and to host @ErinOtoole1 and editor @bklarson!

[Michael de Yoanna @mdy1]

I have an announcement.

It is with loads of gratitude that I leave @KUNC. My last day is today.

I’m excited to join @TheWarHorse as an Investigative Reporter. It’s a national nonprofit known for bulletproof reporting on the impacts of military service. https://t.co/O6WBziA1Bh

@vannschaffner @BecomeFilms @RecoveringVets It was great seeing you in Trinidad. I’ll never forget touring with my doc a few years back and meeting so many people unified by that sad day 20 years ago.

If you are looking for a life-affirming way to remember #September11 , watch those who responded in the U.S. military come home struggling and then find healing in friendship and bike rides. It is that simple but way profound. https://t.co/zItvbrAR6x $1 to watch, support project

[Recovering @RecoveringVets]

When troops came home from the long war on terror, they needed support. They found each other. This film shows what they did next. https://t.co/zItvbrAR6x

A gripping film about what happens when war-weary troops take on a new mission after #9/11 – healing their wounds. They do it by pedaling bicycles hundreds of miles through hurricane conditions, encountering flooding, mountains, crashes, and their demons. https://t.co/2mRCAaUjbU

Elijah McClain's story got us curious about ketamine. We found out that 101 emergency agencies in Colorado allow medics to use it for "excited delirium." It was given to McClain and 901 others in 2.5 yrs. There were complications in roughly 1 in 5 cases. https://t.co/pTUY9WortE

@RecoveringVets From journalist @mdy1 Michael de Yoanna, who directed the documentary. Bicycles heal PTSD. This film happened several years ago but bicycles are more popular than ever. Check it out if you have time.

#VeteransDay Good day to watch @mdy1 @BecomeFilms movie @RecoveringVets.

[Recovering @RecoveringVets]

It’s Veterans Day in the USA. A gritty film that takes on tough issues, but with an uplifting theme, is Recovering. Because vets are fun people. Watch it here: https://t.co/zItvbrAR6x. It’s worth it. And pass it on/share!

NORAD spokesman tells me in statement that if there is a government shutdown, Santa Claus tracking operations will not be affected. 👇 #Santa
