I am a Christian father of four grown adults; I have seen God's grace and mercy in my life. I will be happily married for 45 years this year (2016), to my wife, Anne. She is a woman of great faith and love, whom I share this life with. We overcame the statistics for marriages of Vietnam veterans, as my wife has told me. We have done this all while loving and caring for our severely and profoundly disabled daughter, which the stress alone could have added so many complications to our lives if we allowed it.
We have raised four children into four grown adults. Our first born, Rebecca, has her B.A. in education and is a teacher.
Our second child, Robert, works as a Supervisor for a cleaning company and was a coach with special needs children, and has a girlfriend named Natalie. Our third child, Mariel, has received her B.S.R.N., in Nursing, and was married in 2007 to Ronell. They have a son, Nadir, who turned 17 this year (2013). They have another sibling named Levi born into this world in 2010 and then Micah, conceived in 2012 and are expecting their third boy by the first week of September, 2014. Ronell and Mariel have a church now in the south suburbs of Chicago, Chicago/Dallas - Jesus Center. Finally, our youngest, Gayle, who, as I often say, "I believe I would not be the person I am today without her."
I have a ministry named: Veterans Outreach/Marksman Ministry that is a sole-propriety ministry that I started in 2012. I have received my Associate degree in August of 2006 and my license as a minister, September 16, 2012 from God Carriers International Ministries.
Many individuals have different signs and forms of PTSD and TBI. Some have fallen and hit their head, -can be compared to sports injuries-, by a vehicle or thrown from a horse, - like my oldest daughter has for both of these incidents-. This is for anyone who has or knows someone who is or has. So they have various information I have complied within this document to become more aware of what PTSD and TBI is, as well, signs, complications, diagnosis, and treatment. There are those who have these, including their family, with symptoms and are dealing with the doctors, and their lack of understanding and sometimes compassion. Even veterans seeking the help and insight within the VA can find that at times difficult and at times somewhat confusing as the information and statements I will seem provide why that may happen.
Further, concerning PTSD and TBI, there are reports from the VA directly related to Veterans that address the report from Veterans Administration indicates that twenty-two soldiers everyday take their lives! To them their fight came to an end. This is tragic since they returned home only to find their new life here harder to adjust to. The possibly thoughts and range of emotions they had to deal with that came home with them have plagued them constantly. And many of our troops may have been identified as having PTSD, or TBI, with symptoms of having anxiety, adjustment disorders, and problems with alcohol and other drugs. Some of the recent returned Veterans have had Traumatic brain injuries that are similar to PTSD problems. Both of these symptoms have their loved one's grasping for answers, for a Veteran or non-Veteran, and I hope this directs them to be able to not only understand what they are facing, but be able to respond correctly, medically and spiritual speaking to find wholeness for the person they love.
