Chapter 23 - My name comes off the brochures

This mattered more than I expected.

For months, old copies of Forge Forward promotional material remained online.

My photograph.

My rank.

My service record.

Implied endorsement.

My lawyer sent correction notices.

Not threats.

Corrections.

The funders issued updated statements clarifying:

I had never served as program advisor.

Never approved the methodology.

Never received compensation.

Never certified Forge Forward’s grant submissions.

One reporter asked:

“Do you feel your military reputation was stolen?”

I thought.

“No.”

“Why not?”

May you like

“They misused my name. They didn’t get my service.”

That remained mine.
