Today we were able to collaborate and discuss challenges we as veterans face and how we can create culture change. We had outstanding dialogue with Aaron Martinez from @strugglebeyondthedecade and he interviewed #thetitanproject staff as we talked about #buildingthetribe and connecting Iowa veterans in hopes of one day having a veteran sanctuary in Iowa. We look forward to his upcoming series 3 documentary. #enoughisenough
The therapeutic beauty of Iowa. We are thankful for all of you great Americans. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and remember to check on your battle buddy. #buildingthetribe #happythanksgivng
The gold star mother yard crash part 2 is complete. She’s now part of our tribe. She was overwhelmed with emotion and tears flowed as we talked. She thanked us and we saw the deep scars and sacrifice that only a mother who’s lost a child to war can bare. Thanks again for those volunteers and #veterans that make #thetitanproject great. We will never forget the fallen or the survivors. Lets #buildthetribe
This will be one of the most unique and beautiful items for auction Wednesday night November 14th at @reclaimedrailsbrewing. You have to come and see this amazing piece of art done by a combat veteran. A description from the artist: GUARDIAN “Guardian” is a silkscreen/acrylic on panel (64.5”x48”) dedicated to Sergeant Donald L. Nichols who was killed in action (KIA) on April 13th, 2011 and to the men of his Scout Platoon, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion 133rd Infantry Regiment. I had the distinct privilege to serve with these great Americans during our tour in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan, 2010- 2011. As the Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) Deputy Commander and responsible for Security Operations within our Area of Operations, I was honored to watch this group of young Americans, along with their Afghanistan partners, face the enemy on a daily basis. On May 25th, 2011, the Scout Platoon was directed, initially, from leaders well above the IBCT, to secure the District Center (DC) in DoAb, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan. The Scout Platoon, along with 20 Afghan soldiers and two U.S. Air Force Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) were air assaulted into a valley just south of the DC. Immediately upon dismounting the CH47 helicopters, they came under intense enemy fire from hundred plus Taliban fighters. The platoon spent the next several hours fighting their way to the DC and continued to take the fight into the early hours of May 26th, 2011. In the end, with the support of close air support from Army and Air Force aviation elements, the Scout Platoon miraculously suffered zero casualties and eliminated the Taliban threat and reinforcing elements that came to support their engagement against the American and Afghanistan Soldiers. The Scout Platoon definitely had a “Guardian” on May 25th and 26th, 2011 overseeing their safety and inspiring them to continue the fight.
