@MarkSZaidEsq @CIA @ODNIgov This is excellent news. For too long, those who have faithfully served our country have been denied benefits for something that happened to them as a result of their work. We owe them better.

.@IKEAUSA has a nasty habit of putting sales signs and sending out info but then nothing you buy actually qualifies. Not sure why I keep trying to purchase things. I think this was the end of that. Bait and switch, and rude about it, implying I don’t know how to read.

Donating is supporting vets, young adults & kids who come, trusting that TROT will give them tools to regain confidence, self-efficacy, & trust. But for many, finances keep those doors closed. You can help open those doors. https://t.co/XX7hMKwB87 #seenthroughhorses via @raisely
