🇺🇸 **Today, we mourn and honor four brave American heroes.**

We are deeply saddened by the loss of

**Capt. Cody A. Khork**,
**Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens**,
**Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor**, and **Sgt. Declan J. Coady**,

all of whom gave their lives in service to our nation during the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Their sacrifice — in defense of freedom, duty, and our country — will never be forgotten. 🌹🇺🇸

📍 These dedicated soldiers were members of the U.S. Army Reserve’s 103rd Sustainment Command based out of Des Moines, Iowa, serving proudly in roles that kept vital support flowing to troops in the field.

🙏 Our hearts go out to their families, friends, and unit — and to all those who continue to serve. May we honor their memory by supporting our veterans and troops with gratitude and respect.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we celebrate the extraordinary contributions of Mary Louise Milligan Rasmuson, a trailblazing woman veteran and leader.

As the fifth director of the Women’s Army Corps, she dedicated her life to advancing opportunities for women in the military and breaking barriers for future generations. Her legacy continues to inspire us, and her impact is recognized through efforts like the renaming of the Alaska VA Clinic after her, honoring her service and leadership.
Let’s celebrate her life and the vital role women veterans play in shaping our history and future.
