There’s a ton of photos of Pat in camo, cardinal red, or sun devil yellow, but this one always struck me as the one that best fit the man I read so much about. Can’t begin to describe the influence he’s had on this site, and the good that’s been done for veteran leaders through the foundation in his name in the 15 years since his death. It was because of Pat’s own journal habits that I took so many notes during my time in Helmand and at home, and it was his open mind that made me take a hard look at our own community. I’ll be forever in his debt. #legend #pattillman #bridgethegap #criticalthinking #outsidethebox

New Talk On post is up, The Other Reasons #6, by Erik Villasenor. We have so many different reasons for joining, and the things that brought us to the table so often color and inform the experiences we have in service. Read about Erik’s at the link in the bio! #thetalkon #bridgethegap #korengal #infantry #writersofinstagram #veteranwriters

Talk On has been quiet for a while, and I’m sorry about that, but priorities are priorities, and mine is in the photo above. There are so many great voices out there contributing to a new narrative about vets, and I’ve been happy to sit on the sidelines for a few weeks to just listen (and to be a dad). But new things are coming soon....#standby #thetalkon #bridgethegap #veteranwriters #writersofinstagram #civilians

Talk On is looking for veteran writers to share their stories as part of our Other Reasons series or for unique posts on topics of your choosing - as long as your words speak to civilian readers, we want to publish them. Whether or not our blood, sweat, and effort makes a lasting difference in Helmand, Fallujah, or countless other far off places, our experiences have value here at home for the people we left behind to serve. Help us tell these stories and bridge the gap. DM or submit through the website link to work with us.

Contest Alert! All proceeds of book sales go to @gallantfew ! Buy the book here: https://deadreckoningco.com/blogs/read/in-love-war-the-anthology-of-poet-warriors

Call & Response #2: In Love & War is up at the link our bio. This months long collaboration with @leo_jenkins and @combatartcollective features incredible work by talented veteran and civilian artists and writers as part of an ongoing conversation about war and the people who fight. Humbled by the skill and effort of everyone who took part, and excited to carry this forward. Check out the post at the link, and pick up the anthology that inspired this version of our project from @deadreckoningco #thetalkon #bridgethegap #veteran #civilian #veteranartist #artofinstagram #writersofinstagram
