🇺🇸 Each day this Memorial Week, we’re sharing the words of a living veteran. Someone who served their country and is now incarcerated, waiting to be seen, heard, and remembered. These are real voices from our waiting list. Real people. Still here. Still hoping.

Richard was injured by an IED while serving in Iraq.
He suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Now, he’s in prison, looking for connection.

I want to find good friends. I am a disabled Veteran, while serving in Iraq I as hit by an IED. I suffered traumatic brain injury. The VA has rated me as permanently disabled.
I have seen all the destruction and greed that the human race can create. I have come through struggles with addiction. I need to find friends who are gonna have my back. People who lift each other up, people like I had when I was in the Army.
