HEROES TODAY www.heroestoday.org "We change the world not by what we say or do, but as a consequence of what we have become" How are you today, I wanted to reach out to you in an effort to inform you of the initiative taking place in Chester. My name is Frederick Johnson, I am a 16 year Army veteran and OIF III veteran who holds the rank of SSG, I am also a native of the City of Chester. I have started an organization to help my brothers and sisters who are in distress (http://heroestoday.org) which has been operating on a grassroots level in pittsburgh since 2008. I have returned because my vision is to have our first supportive services building in the City of Chester.
“Recognizing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury and Addiction in Veterans” will be the topic of a talk on Tues., Nov. 9, from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. at The Council of Southeast Pennsylvania, 252 W. Swamp Rd., Suite 12, Doylestown. Kevin Medican, a psychotherapist and a volunteer for PRO-ACT (Pennsylvania Recovery Organization–Achieving Community Together), will review the signs and symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI) and addiction, examine the prevalence of these problems in returning veterans, and discuss how the conditions are interrelated and why two or more of the conditions often occur together. The program will also address resources for veterans and their families who are facing these issues.

James Gilligan gives his side of the 3rd Presidential Debate at Hofstra University.  James Gilligan was in a front-line unit that headed into Iraq as part of the initial assault. His unit went all the way into Baghdad and then turned their responsibilities over to follow-on Coalition forces. The plan from that point was to "Reconstruct and reconstitute and rebuild the government from the ground up." Gilligan's unit rotated back to Camp LeJeune, within weeks he was sent on to Guantanamo Bay for a 6 month rotation in May of 2003. After six months in Cuba, he was deployed again for six months in OEF (Operation Enduring Freedom) in Afghanistan. His unit between May and November 2004 watched over a dam at an FOB (Forward Operating Base) and provided election security and other vehicle convoy operations on other FOBs.
