Myers will be coming to speak about the situation with her son, who is currently serving a life sentence at Leavenworth for acting as a soldier in time of war. She is connected with United American Patriots in helping to advocate for her son through their Warrior Fund, and will speak about this organization, which helps military members and their families with legal defense for convictions of a "crime during combat". Two hundred thirteen service members have been convicted of such crimes during the Iraq & Afghanistan wars. For comparison, only 7 service men total had been convicted of "crimes" in WWII, Korean, & Vietnam Wars.
