April 2022 Review
As veterans, we are all too aware of the horrific effect that PTSD can have on our lives. It also leads to more loss of lives due to suicide among veterans. Eric Spinner was the guest host for the April episode of Veterans News and the focus of the program was be PTSD and discussion of resources and available treatments. Guests were be Rev. Chaplain Fred Miller from Suffolk County and the Veteran Peer-to-Peer Project, and Bill Solz, LCSW. Both are experienced in working in this area, and Bill adds a discussion of a lesser-known but very effective treatment technique called Havening.
If we can save even one life, it will be worth the effort.

Special Interest Story
Several years ago, Pat Yngstrom, began working with Arbors Assisted Living facilities to facilitate the placement of veterans and their spouses in a caring location. Through the years his efforts have been expanded to include monthly gatherings with the resident veterans and many special events. Your webmaster became part of this activity in April 2021 when his sister-in-law became a resident. Pat has now retired from his position pending a move from Long Island to Lewes, DE. We all say, "Godspeed" and good luck- we'll miss you, but will carry on in your absence.
These videos are posted as a reminder of our obligation to our senior vets and their families.
