| "Tears are the blood of the Veteran's soul, for reasons God only knows." Jess M. Wise, Jr. U.S.M.C. 1st Marine Division Sgt.Maj. 1974-75 Having survived violent narrow-misses while deployed, American Veterans return home mentally and physically wounded. The undercurrents of political and economic struggles, times of opportunity and periods of disaster distort their everyday consciousness. These persistent frustrations and other common erosions of happiness create internal battles which manifest into PTSD. As a result, some Vets fight a "kicked in the gut" raw emotion from the perception of diminished support by friends, family, even the country for which they honorably defended freedom. Regrettably, an increasing number have lost their focus on the positives in life and are squarely fixated on the negatives, sadly becoming casualties of self-administered lethal cocktails born out of concealed emotional wounds. Life today continually assigns challenging circumstances to each where pain and failure become necessary stages in renewal. In our search for guidance and answers, many have experienced a shift in awareness or realized a personal discovery while crossing paths with distinguished men and women of previous generations. Often times these truths are derived from Veterans of America's Armed Forces. VET''S CROSSING is a patriotic event presenting seminars focused on success principles proven by Military Leaders fused with musical performances from local and national recording artists. The collaboration is designed to strengthen, inspire and encourage individuals to greater management of their natural lives. VET''S CROSSING is possible because of the American Veteran. The union generates an emotional polarity strong enough to stimulate decision making capable of effecting positive personal growth. Such an elevated conscious occurrence develops the necessary inner strength to convert awareness into action cultivating meaningful change of our mental and physical health. VET''S CROSSING creates a bond connecting all generations offering each a renewed sense of purpose with valid reasons to live and hope. |
