It seems our government is not prepared, not able, perhaps not even willing to help the men and women who were sent to war. The following post is written by Rev. Dr. Marilyn Sewell, minister of First Unitarian Church in Portland Oregon.

PLEASE share the following information with your family and friends. Do you know someone who is a veteran? Who has a family member returning from war?
In good news, the Universe provides. There is help. At a meeting of the People of Faith for Peace, we were introduced to an organization that is offering free counseling to the veterans and families of those involved in the war in Iraq/Afghanistan. http://www.returningveterans.com/
"Mission Statement:
Returning Veterans Resource Project NW is a nonprofit organization comprised of politically unaffiliated and independent mental health professionals who offer free and confidential* counseling to veterans and their families of past and current Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. We believe it is our collective responsibility to offer education, support, and healing for the short and long-term repercussions of military combat on veterans and their families."
Blessings to all of you. Peace to your hearts. tk
