WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE - PTSD

 WORDS I WILL NEVER FORGET

By Del Albright

To all my fellow jungle fighters from long ago, and to all current door kickers in the sand box, PTSD affects all of us...sooner or later.  The words in this pic will never leave me.  Perhaps you know some of them?

 

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health issue that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, like combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault. June is PTSD Awareness Month. Help us spread the word that effective PTSD treatments are available. Everyone with PTSD needs to know that treatment can lead to a better quality of life.

Salute to Veterans on Memorial Day

To all veterans and their families, I salute you and hope you enjoy these short movies about those who have served and those who have suffered.

My hat is off to all my comrades in arms and their friends and families on this Memorial Day. Without soldiers, we would have no country we call America.

HONORING THE MILITARY AND FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM

I'm thinking about our military serving this country. It brings back memories, not all good. But for certain, it's a time when we should stand with our military and do our part to help in the fight for our freedoms – and that includes our trails, riding areas, and recreation. 

I believe we should find ways to support our military and our military support organizations. And I believe, as a land use guy today, that we need to take extra steps these days to SAVE our freedoms to ride and recreate. Join up if you're still wondering what you need to do. That's the first step.

Take it from an old soldier (of war and of land use battles).  Here is the Ka-Bar knife with the blood groove that I carried in South America and Vietnam.
