"We know the work is not over. There are still many veterans and families who are struggling with injuries like traumatic brain injury who may not be homeless right now, but need community and supportive housing to thrive." —Dylan Tête, a veteran who met the First Lady today Working in New Orleans, Dylan founded Bastion Community of Resilience to help his fellow #Vets find homes. Dylan has spent nearly his entire career helping build supportive communities. During a combat tour in Iraq as second-in-command of an Infantry company, Dylan established multiple recovery projects in collaboration with the @StateDept. In 2005, he moved to New Orleans to manage the construction of several @FEMA housing facilities after Hurricane Katrina. He then went on to join @MilitaryDotCom to assist transitioning military personnel and wounded warriors begin new careers in the civilian workforce. Today, in his role with Bastion, Dylan is working alongside the city to help house homeless veterans. It's folks like Dylan who are making sure that everyone who has served America has a home in America. #HonoringVets -Rory
