DOL-VETS Announces $35 Million in HVRP Grants to Assist 16,000 Homeless Vets Grant awards to organizations across the country to help veterans overcome homelessness, secure employment WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez announced today the award of more than $35 million in grants to provide an estimated 16,000 veterans with job-driven training for in-demand jobs to help them successfully transition from homelessness to sustainable housing and good civilian jobs. "In cities like Salt Lake City, Houston and Phoenix, through partnerships and the aggressive delivery of supportive services, we have shown that veteran homelessness is not a reality we have to accept," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez. "The Homeless Veteran Reintegration Program has proven time and again that it can be effective in helping veterans overcome obstacles to employment and sustainable housing, and they deserve nothing less." The Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program is awarding funds competitively to state and local workforce investment boards, local public agencies and nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments, including faith-based and community organizations. Homeless veterans may receive occupational, classroom and on-the-job training, as well as job search and placement assistance, including follow-up services. HVRP is the only federal program that focuses exclusively on employment of veterans who are homeless. Grantees in the HVRP program network coordinate their efforts with various local, state and federal social service providers.

FYSA ... Be Vigilant ... 

BLUF:   AFNORTH remains concerned about the existence of unidentified individuals inside the US who may be planning, or attempting to participate in, attacks that 

could occur with little or no warning, while also capitalizing on the symbolic importance related to the Independence Day holiday. USAF personnel participating in events with a large gathering of people (mass transit, aviation, shopping centers) or events that have cultural significance (parades, celebrations, fireworks) are potentially vulnerable to attack. Protect information about yourself and your organization, including work correspondence and all forms of social media. Current threat actors/terrorists are often extremely technologically savvy; therefore, do not compromise your personal, family, or organizational safety and  integrity by carelessly revealing too much information.

Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2015 11:14:03 -0400 (EDT)

PTSD AWARENESS  When service members return from a war zone, they all breathe a sigh of relief. Their first thought is, "It's over, I'm home, and I'm safe!" But for many, the war is never over - the memories, the sounds, the images, and the smells never go away. It's hard to imagine that anyone that has been wounded in combat and lived to tell about it, doesn't suffer from some form of post-traumatic stress (PTS)." Long after they leave the battlefield, some veterans continue to battle with invisible wounds that can be just as debilitating as the physical scars of combat. The problem is that these wounds are much more difficult to recognize and treat. It's possible to have undiagnosed PTS for 30 years and not realize it -- possibly never, or until you find a way to get better and then you realize there is another way to live.  Post-Traumatic Stress is not a new phenomenon, it just has a new name. In WWI it was called Shell Shock; in WWII it was Combat Fatigue and then Combat Stress Reaction. After the Korean and Vietnam Wars, it was called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. More recently, however, the word "disorder" has been downplayed to help remove the stigma of the illness. PTS is not unique to military personnel; it can result from any trauma or life-threatening event, no matter where it takes place. The symptoms of PTS may include upsetting memories or dreams of an event, increased jumpiness, depression, anxiety, or trouble sleeping. In extreme cases it can even lead to suicide. For those suffering from PTS, it can affect all aspects of a veteran's life, often taking family and friends as extended casualties of this silent, invisible war. The first step in combating PTS is to raise awareness about this crucial issue, recognizing the symptoms in yourself or others, and knowing where to look for treatment. June 27 has been designated by VA as PTS Awareness Day for the fourth consecutive year. "Raising PTS awareness is essential to overcoming the myth, misinformation and stigma that too often prevents Veterans from seeking help," said VA Secretary Robert A. McDonald. The VA is one of the largest integrated mental health systems in the United States that provides specialized treatment for PTS, and the numbers are alarming. As of September 2014, there were about 2.7 million American veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, compared to 2.6 million Vietnam veterans. In fiscal year 2014 alone, more than 535,000 of the nearly 6 million Veterans who sought care at VA healthcare facilities received treatment for PTS. From October 1, 2001, to December 31, 2014, nearly 400,000 Post-9/11 Veterans were seen for potential PTS at VA facilities following their return from overseas deployments. By comparison, a Vietnam Veterans' Readjustment Study done in the 1980's initially found that "for Vietnam theater veterans, 15% of men had PTSD at the time of the study and 30% of men had PTSD at some point in their life." But a 2003 re-analysis found that "a large majority of Vietnam Veterans struggled with chronic PTSD symptoms, with four out of five reporting recent symptoms when interviewed 20-25 years after Vietnam." Even given these numbers, it is estimated that 50% of those with PTSD do not seek treatment. All Patriots are encouraged to be vigilant, both inward and outward; to watch our own thoughts, just as we are observant of the words and actions of our brothers and sisters for signs of PTS; to be open and honest with ourselves and each other about the scope of the issue and its effects on us and our families. For more information on PTSD and the ways to raise awareness, please visit the VA's National Center for PTSD website.  STAY CONNECTED:

Good Evening,

My name is Caren and I work in the Casting Department of All3Media, a production company based out of Los Angeles. All3Media, producers of the Emmy Award winning series Undercover Boss, is a leader in unscripted and documentary style programming shedding positive light to our unsung heroes and the storytelling process.

We are currently working on a brand new documentary special called AMERICAN PLATOON for a major cable network, and I am interested in speaking to Vietnam War veterans specifically. We are trying to track down 4-8 surviving members of a storied Vietnam platoon to tell the tale of their war adventure firsthand. Guided by interviews with each of them, we will relive the entirety of their experience through their multiple perspectives... from the moment each of them entered training, to the rescue missions,  to the camaraderies formed, to the final goodbyes and return home. 

Since we are trying to reach as many veterans as possible, our team would greatly appreciate if you would spread the word about our new documentary to any and all Vietnam veterans, or anyone associated with Vietnam veterans. This subject matter hits very close to home and we would love to discuss with anyone interested in hearing more.  Please feel free to share this email, as well as my contact information, which can be found in my signature below. Thank you so much for your time.
