[ Maybe a lot of people, really, but Sam's never been the kind of guy to sit back and do nothing. There's always been something to fight for, one way or another, whether the battlefield was the streets in Harlem or the skies in Afghanistan or his own mind and the minds other veterans - or the whole damn world, after joining the Avengers. Sometimes he thinks it should make him exhausted, and some days it does, but mostly he's made peace with that. ]

[ He lets out an exhale, quirking a slightly wry smile. ] I kept up working at the VA for a while, just chasing leads on Barnes, but eventually, yeah. I still go to groups, do guest speaking some times. Or I did, anyway.
