Our next Army Ten-Miler member is SGM Steve Minyard, USA (Ret.), our amazing Director of Programs here at ROA.

According to Steve, "the American Revolution started with a Citizen-Soldier NCO getting his troops ready to fight; ten miles in DC is the least we can do to honor that service!"

Please visit the link 🔗 in the comments to support Steve's fundraiser to champion ROA's programs that will benefit current and former members of the Reserve Components and their families.

Yesterday, ROA and Congressman Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) held a press conference urging Congress to take action on the Susan E. Lukas 9/11 Servicemember Fairness Act (H.R. 5339).

ROA's CEO, John Hashem, and Rep. Subramanyam were joined as speakers by Joe Kornoff, Executive Director of the Pentagon Memorial Fund, Inc.; Jack Du Teil, President of the Military Coalition; and Jon Nutman, Policy Advisor, Air Force Sergeants Association.

This important legislation would extend PACT Act benefits to servicemembers who reported for duty at the Pentagon between September 11 and November 19, 2001, ensuring they can receive presumptive service-connected benefits for illnesses related to toxic exposure following the 9/11 attack.

September 11, 2001, started out as a beautiful day. It was a normal commute, a typical morning in Washington, D.C., New York City, and everywhere else in America.

Then the unimaginable happened. That beautiful day turned dark. And our world changed.

But from that darkness came light. A generation of new heroes was born - the many, many heroes who emerged from the events of that day, and the countless warriors who answered the call when their nation needed them most in the aftermath.

Today, 25 years later, we remember and honor all those who were lost due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. We will never forget you.

And we are forever grateful for all who stood up to protect and serve our country in the days and years after the attacks. We can never say thank you enough.
