Grill the General for Memorial Day

In late April, Lt. General Donald Campbell, Jr. took command of the Army's Third Corps and Fort Hood, the largest and most deployed military installation in the United States. On General Campbell's first week at work, we sent him a letter requesting he meet with representatives of our Operation Recovery Campaign about the ongoing mental health epidemic raging at Fort Hood. Since then, we have gotten no response from the General's office. Will you help us grill General Campbell? 

Help Operation Recovery sit down with Fort Hood's General Campbell by sending him an email now.

As the new Fort Hood Commander, General Campbell has the power to stop deploying traumatized troops and get service members the health screenings and treatment they so desperately need, but first he needs to know the scope of the problem. During his first month at his new job, let's put the issue of traumatized troops at the top of his agenda. 

Then light up your BBQ and host a Memorial Day House Party to share the story of Operation Recovery and raise money for our organizing team down at Fort Hood.
