Bill Stewardson

Bill Stewardson is a 64-year-old former porter at Chesterfield Royal Hospital from Sheffield, England, whose son, Kingsman Alex Green, was killed in Iraq in 2007. Following the controversial comments made by US Vice President JD Vance regarding military engagement, Stewardson publicly condemned Vance's remarks as 'glib' and 'offensive,' calling attention to the lack of respect for the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families. In addition to his advocacy, he authored a book for bereaved parents, 'Fear of a Blank Mind: An Epitaph for a Generation?', reflecting on his ongoing grief and the impact of losing his son.
