He walked away from the NFL to answer a higher calling. 🇺🇸 Following the 9/11 attacks, Pat Tillman left behind a professional football career to enlist in the U.S. Army alongside his brother. An Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, Tillman was killed at just 27 years old. This Veterans Month, we honor his courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to serving something greater than himself.

Under the Trump Administration, @DeptVetAffairs has cut the disability claims backlog by 70% and has processed more claims in FY26 than ANY year in history. That’s what putting Veterans FIRST looks like! 🇺🇸🦅

As we begin Veterans Month, I’m reflecting on the honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier last year. A powerful reminder that freedom comes at a cost, and that some of our nation’s heroes never made it home. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. This month and every month, we honor those who answered the call to serve. 🇺🇸

With the beginning of Veteran’s Month, and especially Veteran’s Day Nov 11th be sure to attend ceremonies in your hometown. If your localities choose not to celebrate the National holiday be sure to ask why not.
