Community Clergy Training for Advancing Veteran's Whole Health

This free online training is sponsored by the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA. Many Veterans and their family members seek help for their problems from clergy because they perceive the faith community as a safe and accessible place that provides confidentiality and acceptance. Yet clergy members sometimes have limited knowledge about suicide prevention, military culture, readjustment difficulties and the unique health issues such as post-traumatic stress and moral injury, common to returning Veterans. This event can help prepare you to support them and make your faith community a place Veterans can call home.

FRENCH-AMERICAN MILITARY RELATIONSHIP

THE EVOLUTION OF FRENCH-AMERICAN RELATIONSHIP After spending half of his life in France and the other half in The United States, Jean-Loup looks back at the relationship between the two countries, ranging from the involvement of recent discords on political, economic and military issues.

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." – John 15:13 This event is in memory of EXTORTION 17, the callsign for the Chinook helicopter shot down while attempting to insert reinforcements for a unit of Rangers on 6 August 2011 in Wardak province, Afghanistan. EXTORTION 17 remains the single greatest loss of life in that war. Of the 38 KIA, 17 were SEALs. All were willing to risk their lives for their brothers on the ground. At your challenge, expect the scenarios to build in concert with how the mission unfolded that fateful day.

The National Mall features plenty of ways to honor American servicemen and women. Visit the magnificent National World War II Memorial and its famous effervescent fountain. Stop to pay your respects at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Vietnam Women’s Memorial; take a piece of paper from one of the volunteers and etch a name from the famous wall included in the former. Admire the steely faces of the 19 servicemen depicted in the Field of Service at the Korean War Veterans Memorial. And a visit to the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial is a solemn and powerful reminder of the very human cost of war.

Every year Delaware Military Academy honors 9-11 with thier Annual Remembrance Ceremony.

Marines landed on the Pacific island of Iwo Jima to face over 20,000 determined Imperial Japanese defenders. By the time it was over thirty-six days later, Americans had suffered over 26,000 casualties, of which more than 6,800 were killed. Japanese losses were staggering: of the nearly 21,000 Defenders only 216 were captured alive. In March 2015, as part of the joint American-Japanese 70th anniversary “Reunion of Honor” ceremonies, independent historians Steven J. Wright and William C. Holdsworth visited the island with more than fifty veterans of the battle – including one Japanese survivor, Tsuruji Akikusa – and the last surviving Iwo Jima Medal of Honor recipient [...]
