At Modern Military, we know our community is rattled by today's flurry of reporting about a potential impending ban on transgender service. This Military.com com article is just one of many you might have come across:?https://lnkd.in/eAh97HZK. We want to reassure everyone that there is not yet any public evidence, policy, or decision from the incoming administration. At this point, this is speculative, and nothing is certain or definitive. That said, we are concerned that another ban remains a possibility, and we deeply understand the fear and uncertainty this incites for so many service members and their loved ones. In the mean time, please read our open letter that covers ways the LGBTQ+ community can prepare in the coming months: https://lnkd.in/e6yb8G3J. We will keep our community updated with any new developments.?

This National Family Caregivers Month, we honor the caregivers of LGBTQ+ service members and veterans. Their love and support are crucial to the well-being of our heroes. This year, during 2024 National Family Caregivers Month, we urge all caregivers to self-recognize and self-identify! Identifying as a caregiver opens the door to essential (and often free or low-cost) caregiver support. For more information, go to caregiveraction.org/icare or @caregiveraction. Thank you for everything you do! #Caregivers #MilitaryCaregivers #LGBTQCommunity #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth #NFCMonth #familycaregivers
