I am watching the Ohio St. - Texas game, and an ad popped up about 15 minutes ago that was so visually impactful to me the tears formed. Did you see it? A man is staggering along a deserted road under the weight of a heavy pack and falls to his knees, clearly done. Another man drives by in an old truck, stops, jumps out with his pack, starts taking heavy items out of the downed man’s pack and placing them in his own, then extends an arm to help the other man up. No dialog. I immediately looked them up. See below link.

I was proud to see the comoany I die t my corporate career with was in at the start, USAA, as many of the well-known veterans non-profits are part of the team.

I'm pretty proud to say that my organization is a partner. I had some involvement with getting us to join.

My organization is a partner in the "Face the Fight" coalition as well. Still much work to be done, but it is good to see the community trying to pull together to take on this problem.
