We all made sure this Veteran had an end of life that offered support & care he wouldn't otherwise have had in much abundance in those final days.
And it took a team to make sure, just like I'm sure this Veteran made sure many times their 25+ years of service, that:
No One Gets Left Behind.

Hear these voices:
Stir our hearts. Let justice roll down like mighty waters.
The misuse of power; the abandonment of compassion; the refusal to love our neighbor as ourself/is what the Scripture decries.

Repeatedly, the CAB has sent this message to VUMC's leadership: your silence is itself violence.
The institution’s tight-lip is, in & of itself, a perpetuation of the hurts they experience elsewhere—and with no small irony, at the very place that has put itself forward as a shelter from that storm.
