Robert Grodt’s family is fighting the State Department to bring their son’s remains to the U.S. after he was killed fighting with Kurds to liberate Raqqa.

One woman has fought for years to answer the question even New York State Police wouldn’t—or couldn’t: Who killed her brother?

Fishkill is supposed to take care of mentally ill people like Ben, who was locked up as a schizophrenic teen. It turned out to be a death sentence.

It was bizarre to celebrate a day dedicated to freedom from inside prison. Even after being released, the day smacks of hypocrisy for me.

In 1990, I shot a man through the heart and was sent to prison. My crew became my family and a box of frozen chicken was better than anything Santa could’ve delivered.
