Dear @WhiteHouse, I Know this is a kind shot, but My name is Rodney Smith Jr. I live in Huntsville, AL. I’m currently traveling to all 50 states mowing lawns for veterans, active duty service members, Gold Star families & widows. I’m also sharing their stories . This is my way of honoring them.
As founder of a nonprofit with 6,000+ kids mowing FREE lawns for the elderly, disabled, single parents & veterans nationwide, I’d be honored to bring my USA Flag Mower to mow at the Arlington National Cemetery where veterans rest.
I’m currently in the New England area heading down the East Coast before Florida, then Alaska. Thank you for your consideration.

Marine Corps Corporal Jennifer M. Parcell, 20 of Bel Air, Maryland, assigned to Combat Logistics Regiment 3, III Marine Expeditionary Force, Okinawa, Japan, was KIA on February 7, 2007 during combat operations in Anbar Province, Iraq.
The 13 brave Warriors who gave their lives during the hasty and disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal should not be forgotten. Those in the previous administration and command positions should be fully investigated, outed and ultimately held accountable for this horrific failure. @PeteHegseth
We just ran payroll. The payroll taxes were 2K higher than calculated. We called the payroll company. They explained (in summary) that California has a budget shortfall, and the federal government wants money back that it lent California for UI that it "lost." They are making up for it by having business owners pay it. Keep in mind that it was around 10% of our total payroll. When people say, "Why isn't California business-friendly?" remember this.
I'm sure a lot has been speculated about what's going on in Western North Caolina. I'm a resident. One who has just now got enough of a signal to access the internet for more than a minute or two at a time. I'll explain.
She passed going back into her burning home to save her children sadly she and her 3 young boys didn't make it! She was one tough Marine when she was in and had continued to work with the veteran community in her town.
Happy Birthday, Corporal Watkins! 🎉
