American Warrior
My latest training has earned me this honor. It is truly an honor to serve our military and their families! I learned so much during this class. Most importantly, it gave me a new understanding of what our service men and women do, the sacrifices they make and the assistance that they need.
An eye-opening talk from the author Sean Parnell who wrote the book Outlaw Platoon. It is a great book that everyone should read. I have family and friends who have served, but I really had no idea since I had not served. This is one small way that has allowed me to see in their lives and hopefully can begin to bridge this gap of not knowing to being able to be aware and support them by learning a little more. This is something I challenge all of us to do as Americans!
You see on Facebook all the stats and posts for suicide regarding our military. Awareness is a great first step as suicide has been on the rise. This group helps do something and makes a difference. It provides service dogs to those who have served. I heard first hand stories of how a dog can make a life or death difference in their lives. It really is incredible!
