From Serving Our Country to Serving Our City!
We continue to recognize the incredible contributions of our Public Works employees who have served in the military. #ILoveRiverside 🇺🇸
My most vivid and most painful memory in 23 years in the US occurred on this day 23 years ago.
We lost too many innocent families that day.
And so many more since then - brave, selfless people who sacrificed their life so we wouldn't have another 9/11.
We cannot be safe without military families.
As we remember and mourn those who we have lost today, please consider expressing gratitude to military families who sacrifice every day to keep us safe.
Here are some options...
1. Thank them for their service
2. Ask them how we can express our gratitude
3. Volunteer in organizations that support military families
Help members of military families build fulfilling careers in the civillian sector...
4. Offer free training
5. Conduct mock interviews
6. Offer mentoring
7. Help with job hunting
8. Consider for internships / apprenticeships
9. Offer jobs
10. Brag about how awesome they are from the rooftops
Never forget 9/11.
Never forget who sacrifices every day since so we don't have another 9/11.
September 11 forever changed our nation. We honor the bravery of our first responders who saved many lives and our military veterans who fought to defend us. So many precious lives were lost - may we never forget.
#neverforget
Today’s chaplains are military professionals specially trained to serve any spiritual need, for military personnel and their families, regardless of religious affiliation, ethnicity, or gender. Nearly 3,000 chaplains from the Army, Navy, and Air Force served in Vietnam, each chaplain with a vastly different experience of the war.

Today is Military Spouse Day or Military Spouse Appreciation Day. Let's be sure to show our military spouses how much we love and appreciate all they do for our service members. Souses are the backbone of our military. Take time today to acknowledge the significant contributions, support, and sacrifices of spouses of our Armed Forces. #MilitaryAppreciation#thankyou#appreciation#militaryspousesappreciationday
LtCol Scheller is spot on.
28 of the 34 recently retired four-star U.S. military officers went to work for the arms industry, a revolving door that drives soaring profits and near-record military spending.
"The revolving door is a problem because it creates the appearance—and in some cases the reality—of conflicts of interest in the making of defense policy and in the shaping of the size and composition of the Pentagon budget."
Beyond the $200k+- pension for life, many General's also finagle 100 percent VA disability benefits - because of their rank and influence.
These perfumed princesses developed a military culture where they are untouchable and beyond scrutiny.....as evident by their piss poor performance in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kabul Debacle....
We have undoubtedly the best military with unmatched equipment and superior troops....but we lack the senior military leadership. Lions led by self-serving Sheep.
General's (and politicians) should be barred from holding shares and working for the MIC, defense related corporations, foreign governments....for 5 years after retirement.
Talked to Ramaswamy about the corruption in America's senior military ranks. The American military is rotting from within.
While General Mattis (General Dynamics), General Dunford (Lockheed Martin), and other prominent military personalities profit off war and the efforts of young enlisted service members, people like Ramaswamy bring attention to the problems.
It was cool meeting him.
