Veterans rely on public lands

I joined the U.S. Army as a Cavalry Scout in August of 2001, one month before the attacks on September 11th.

I served a peacekeeping mission in Kosovo and later deployed to Iraq as a Brigade sniper on counter IED and counter mortar missions. I performed over 160 combat missions without the use of an armored vehicle, engaged in countless firefights, and survived dozens of ambushes.

My transition back to civilian life was challenging. I struggled with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, depression, and more. But I found peace in the outdoors -- camping, hiking, and exploring natural wonders became a way of life.

Today, I lead VoteVets work to help protect our public lands from exploitation and to preserve them for everyone. This work is central to our mission, and I hope you'll keep us in the fight:

Chip in $10 to VoteVets before our September fundraising drive comes to a close tomorrow and help us continue to elevate the voices of veterans fighting to protect our public lands.

Thank you for your continued support of VoteVets and our work. It means the world to all of us who work here.

All my best,
