I need to talk about something with my fellow #veterans, in particular the white ones. Over the past month i’ve made a request that y’all be more vocal about your service for this country. And how your fellow Black citizens don’t deserve to be gun down in the streets......

or sister in arms who had my 6. Not all but, i noticed some really don’t have my 6.
I SEE YOU!!!!! Now is a moment like never before in your lifetime that your words carry weight, me, other Black citizens need our 6 protected with your words and actions. Thank you, carry on
