A 20-year Army veteran who served four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan was recently fired from his communications job at the Bronx Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital under the Trump administration’s drastic cuts to the federal workforce.
Luke Graziani, 45, was at work on Feb. 13 when he received an email informing him that his services were no longer needed. He is among thousands of federal employees nationwide abruptly let go as part of workforce reductions spearheaded by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, who frame the cuts as an effort to eliminate wasteful spending.
