He was one of the toughest men to ever wear the Trident.🇺🇸♥️
Chief William "Bill" Chad Mulder served 20 years as a Navy SEAL, including time in the elite SEAL Team 6. Three Bronze Stars with Valor. Countless missions that saved American lives.
He retired in January 2017.
127 days later, on June 9, 2017, we lost him to suicide in Boerne, Texas. He was just 46.
His battle with TBI, PTSD and invisible wounds didn't end when he came home. Now he rests at Arlington National Cemetery.
His family made sure his death was not in vain. Congress honored him with H.R. 5649 The Navy SEAL Bill Mulder Transition Improvement Act of 2018 to fix how we bring our warriors home.
His story is why we must do better.

The late Tim Wakefield was born August 2, 1966. Wake won 200 career games, but more importantly, the knuckleballer won two World Series titles while with the #RedSox. He is third all time in Boston victories with 186, behind only Cy Young and Roger Clemens. He passed in 2023.

Sunlight on skin makes vitamin D out of cholesterol.
Sunlight on skin releases nitric oxide and drops your blood pressure.
Sunlight at dawn sets the clock running your sleep and your mood.
Sunlight in a child's eye slows the elongation that becomes short-sightedness.
Every living thing on this planet is downstream of that star, without exception.
It has arrived free every morning for four billion years.
The eye was built specifically to receive it.
And somewhere in the last forty years we were taught to be afraid of it.
Afraid of the sun.
We check an index before we go outside.
We coat children in chemicals before school, every two hours.
When the regulator finally tested those chemicals, all six crossed into the blood after one application.
The star that made every calorie you have ever eaten is now something you buy a product to avoid.
Vitamin D deficiency went from a slum disease to a routine blood result.
No animal has ever needed protecting from its own star.
Every other creature on earth still moves toward it.
One species checks an app first.
