    Today’s state is Delaware, and Eric’s story stayed with me. Two decades in the Air Force. A Master’s degree and a PhD in progress. A love story that started in high school and found its way back at a reunion. And right now, a family just trying to hold on through job loss, health struggles, and the pressure of daily life. His story is coming. 🇺🇲

    Today's state is Tennessee, and I'm grateful to @veteranwithasign for helping me tell this one. Jimmy is a Marine who served in Afghanistan, who lost brothers, who came home and quietly rebuilt everything — now facing the hardest fight of his life alongside his five-year-old daughter McLaren. He survived war. He just wants more time with his little girl. More soon. 🇺🇸

    New Hampshire. Meet Joe... a 75-year-old Navy veteran and the kind of man his whole neighborhood calls "Grandpa Joe." He handed out ice pops to kids after school, rebuilt his back porch so it was safe for the grandkids, and never stopped showing up for everyone around him. Now he's caring for a wife with cancer and a son with stage 4 kidney disease, while living with Alzheimer's himself. More soon. 🇺🇸

    We're in Maine today with Debbie who served in the Marine Corp herself, then cared for her husband who was also a Marine veteran until he passed away in 2018. After he passed away, she lost her home and had to move into a small apartment that is often unsafe for her. Her story is up now 🇺🇲

    Today's state is Pennsylvania, and I brought in @keenanbank to help tell this one. 41 years of military service. A husband of 57 years doing everything he can to stay close to his wife. A man who has spent his whole life giving to others and never once asked for anything in return. His story is coming. 🇺🇸

    This is Vic from Mississippi’s story… "Joseph “Vic” Holiday is a United States Marine Corp Veteran who lives in Florence, MS. My mom, and my siblings and all of his grandchildren are his whole world! He has worked his whole life to make sure he provided effortlessly! We always had food on the table and everything that we needed and has always made sure his grandchildren have had everything they needed! Shortly after enlisting into the service he met my mom and they have now been married 42 years, with 5 child and over 20 grandchildren! After his service, he spent over 40 years working in customer service and shining the light amongst his coworkers, and customers and made a lasting impact on everyone he met! My mom battles with several health issues so he has always had to work extra hard to provide but has always done it with a smile and without complaint! In January of 2026 he unfortunately had a stroke that left him spending 3 weeks in the hospital and almost 2 in rehabilitation! He lost full mobility of his right side but after therapy, was able to regain some enough to be able to walk but not without a cane or help! He has no mobility to his right arm! He is still positive that one day he will! He even had a positive impact on everyone he met during his stroke by being completely positive and just grateful to have been able to live through it! Now, he is facing a new world where he can’t work or even do repairs that are needed to keep his home safe and in full working order for himself and my mom! My mom is now having to be his caregiver and can’t do repairs or even care for him properly due to their home not being easily accessible due to him now being disabled! Please help take the burden off of him now not being able to provide financially or do much needed repairs to their home so that him and my mom can enjoy the rest of their years without much stress! Much Love and Blessings." - Dorothy Aguilar Kindness Creator Samuel Weidenhofer is on a mission to ensure one veteran or veteran’s family in every US state never has to work again.

    Today we're in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston Red Sox fans may recognize Ken from working at the stadium as a ticket taker. He takes pride in his work and was named Ticket Taker of the Year in 2025. He’s 85 years old, an Air Force Veteran, a widower, and still working to make ends meet after losing much of his pension years ago. More soon 🇺🇲

    Today's state is New Jersey, and Ernest's story stayed with me. 81 years old, a veteran, a mail carrier, a widower — his kids nominated him because they see him struggling every day and feel helpless to do more. He gets excited that he only has 11 years left on his mortgage. That detail alone says everything. More soon. 🇺🇸
