I have supported @votevets.org since its inception. As a veteran with dsabling MST, the VA was the only place that helped. Now the mental health clinics are losing people because they are interns.

2 weeks ago the NPS shut down our boiler job in Teton, this morning we were told that our $4.7M contract at Yellowstone would likely be cancelled. The material and equipment have already been paid for & delivered, the control company has been paid. Tonight I have to lay off my crew & I'm fucked. 😢🤬
