  • VA layoffs go viral on X, and Grunt Style Fdtn on source of suicide prevention problem
    2025/02/21
    Tim Jensen, a Marine Corps combat veteran, is on a mission to stop veteran suicide. The powerful veteran activist and head of Grunt Style Foundation (advocacy arm of America’s patriotic T-Shirt brand Grunt Style) talked with us about the current state of suicide prevention. Jensen shared a surprising connection between suicide and psychotropic drugs, and others for anxiety, depression and even meds used to help vets quit smoking. He also illustrated how alternative medical treatments, widely known to improve the lives of vets with head injuries and PTSD, are being underutilized or even ignored. We discussed the political games unfolding as DOGE cuts continue to slice the federal workforce. And we examine the path forward; including upcoming meetings with House Veterans Affairs committee members, a GSF-VFW partnership, and a proposal currently being reviewed by officials in the Trump administration.

  • Return or Quit: Millennial Vet on tough choice many vets, federal workers face
    2025/02/19
    After the recent Executive Order for Federal employees to return to the office, Jenna Carlton, DoD employee and founder of The Millennial Veterans Facebook group is facing a tough choice- stay in her current job, or quit. She described how her Procurement job for the Dept. of the Navy was fully remote from first the day she was hired. She explained how her family made the choice to move from Maryland to New Jersey, to be closer to their step-daughter recently diagnosed with diabetes. Without an actual office, her employer transferred her to a base in New Jersey, and only required one weekly in-person appearance. She shared how they lived over an hour away, but found a way to effectively make their family schedule work. After the recent order, she is grappling with the choice between a daily 3-hour commute or leaving her job and hoping to find a new one. Beyond the impact on her family, Carlton also shares how this decision is impacting vets nationwide and could even disrupt Naval fleet readiness in the months to come.

  • Vintage Valentines: Historic military love letters that rival Shakespeare
    2025/02/13
    Let’s talk about love! Andrew Carroll, Director of The Center for American Letters, returns with some of the most romantic words ever written, by service members fighting wars around the world. This collection of over 200K letters spans the Revolutionary War to World Wars all the way up to modern emails from our current generation. We begin with the beautiful words for a loving wife, composed on a battlefield in Virginia, during the American Civil War. Carroll continues with an intriguing love letter that was really part of a secret intelligence mission during WWII. And we hear the bitter side of love, in a response to a “Dear John” letter from a Korean War soldier. Carroll also shows how some love letters can even bring total strangers together, as we hear about a love story that began with pen pals. And we take a whimsical look at the medical conditions associated with true love, from a pioneering African American doctor during the World War II era. So don’t wait, grab a pen and some paper and write to the one you love, because love letters are not just for Valentine’s Day anymore.
