The story behind this powerful photo of deported military veterans saluting the U.S. flag
The men stood on a concrete island in the middle of Cordova International Bridge, where people leaving the Mexican city of Juarez cross the border to El Paso.
It was Memorial Day, when U.S. soldiers honor fallen service members by kneeling in front of a battlefield memorial — a symbolic cross formed with the soldier’s helmet, rifle, boots and, sometimes, dog tags.
The six men standing a few miles from the U.S.-Mexico border did the same May 29, albeit a bit differently: They didn’t have a helmet or a rifle, so they improvised using a U.S. flag perched on a concrete cylinder. A pair of desert combat boots was also on the concrete block.  Read the rest of the story here.

Democrats Vow Investigation of VA’s Shadow Rulers After ProPublica Story

Picture
“This situation reeks of corruption and cronyism,” said the top Democrat on the House veterans committee.
Update, Aug. 10, 2018: Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, formally requested investigations by the VA Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., called on the VA secretary to cut ties with the Mar-a-Lago Crowd and remove their allies in the agency.
Democratic lawmakers said they will investigate how three outsiders have been shaping policy and personnel at the Department of Veterans Affairs. A ProPublica investigationTuesday revealed the vast influence of the trio, who often meet at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.
