Get well soon, boss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I always admired General Hayden when I saw him on television. I am wishing him wellness and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Well wishes in your rehab. Highly respected and needed clarity in the mess we find ourselves in. I’ll continue seeking updates on your progress.
Thoughts and prayers to you Sir, and your family.
Merry Christmas.
I wish General Hayden and his family well during the Holiday season. America has not forgotten about him and know the struggle recovery takes.
A good man with a powerful message.
We wait to see you back on the airwaves speaking truth against tyranny.
Find peace and strength in your recovery, and enjoy the holidays!
Jeanine and Gen Hayden (Mike)
You are a hero to me! I was the first military public affairs officer for NSA. Why? Because of your bravery to take a chance on an Agency and a little kid from New Jersey. You then retired me as my officiating Officer in 2003. You hosted my family—whom to this day talk of that day nearly 15 years ago. You hosted my parents (now both deceased) in your office prior to my retirement ceremony. And despite arelentless schedule, you and your incredible wife, sacrificed your time to make my day unforgettable. I was retired by “Daddy DIRNSA”—the man the myth the legend. The person I crafted several hundred intelligence reports to in my career! I write all of this to simply say, it’s our turn—we got your back Mike and Jeanine! We love and admire you and our prayers are with you both for a remarkable and miraculous recovery🙏❤️
