Event Information
An estimated 35% of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, as do countless American veterans from previous wars. Over 58,000 American service people died in the Viet Nam war, over 100,000 have since committed suicide. Sadly, such problems will continue as veterans return from Iraq and Afghanistan.

As many who have sought help can testify, standard therapeutic techniques frequently do not work. 

Veterans Suffering from PTSD often:
- Have difficulty holding jobs or sustaining relationships
-  Have recurrent nightmares or won't leave home  read more »

I recently returned to Viet Nam, after being there 37 years ago.  I journeyed with Ed and Kate, my wife Valerie and 10 others, four of whom were other Viet Nam veterans. I am not the same person I was before going.

I generally get annoyed with solicitors. I understand that they have a job they need to perform, and like everyone (except 2%) in our country, they need to work. It’s not their fault that they have a job that unfortunately irritates the most patient people. Nor is it their fault that they feel they have a product that people really ought to have.

Unfortunately, I have joined the solicitor ranks and should I begin to annoy you, you can always turn the page. However, what makes me different from a solicitor is that I am not going to sell you a product. I am going to simply tell you about it. I have one advantage over my competitors and it is that I am going to tell you about a book. (This shows how well I know my market. Being Theosophists and members of the Theosophical Order of Service, chances are you love to read. It’s an affliction we all have so no need to feel odd.)  read more »
