this was SO good! ❤ Such wonderful foundations! 💞

I regret that I ever served in the military. I threw away my medals, my service jacket, photos and destroyed my DD 214. The next step is going to the DMV to get a new license without veteran on it and I’m changing my license plate from veteran to a regular one. Sick and disappointed that after serving the military the only thing I qualify for is free food on Veterans Day once a year.

2nd Lt. Jeffers signing in, here. WOW!! What a great video for beginners and empathic understanding. Hits a lot of points Home. This was a brave video to publish!! THANK YOU to, PsychArmor for rattling the Battle-Rattle, Ringing the Bell, and Blowing the Horn.... all of which I have been DOCUMENTED doing for Years. God Bless You, ALL, Brothers und Sisters! UNTO VALHALLA! NO MORE SU1C!DES at VA PARKING LOTS. Jesus.... 😇😇😇

Louisville KY VA have failed me so many times. This is a joke. If you are in charge you should be ashamed

I have fallen through the cracks at the Syracuse VA

Can we still tease marines by calling them soldiers?

As a WAC ( Women's Army Corps) Veteran, when wearing my WAC Tee or Hoodie, it never fails that some lady will often thank me for my service, then launch into explaining that her Husband was in the Army... Somehow, she thinks we are the same... we aren't. She wants to go on and on about how "they" served here and there. Respect women veterans. You do not know our stories. Don't feel you have to share your history unless we ask for it.

Thank you so much , very interested

Nobody gives a shit about us besides people that have been through it

Wonderful... 1st Corinthians 13:13...

This is outstanding.

Would like to see an updated version of this video with personal stories.

Interesting topic,, i love this " effective communication....."

I am Chioma Godwin. I am returning. Communication is vital, is the way we relate with people around us, it is dynamic and should be handle with care. I am a caregiver,communication ( Mass communication graduate from Nigeria. Good to meet you all here. Thank you all.

I'm better off if everyone does not know that I served in the military.

I was stationed on a compassionate reassignment after I was wounded (burnt) and needed several operations stateside. As a Sgt I was assigned to a massive warehouse, almost twice the size of a Lowe's home improvement store. The Air force base was the only base in the USA that had every military unit represented, Coast Guard. Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy, we even serviced both the FBI and CIA vehicles and equipment as we were the place where the ICBM's were maintained... I had a secondary MOS of 76-Y (Supply), while my primary MOS was 11 B-P. Most commanders I dealt with were "West Point desk jockey's" which was a sore point on both sides. I was lucky as the DOD personal were WWII Veterans and they gave such respect ... Jump Wings, CIB, Bronze Star or that Screaming Eagle Patch on my sleeve of my "dress greens", I don't know which one. After 9 years Army I didn't re-enlist, instead was offered a job in Australia as an Art Teacher. To this day at 75 years of age I paint every day... it keeps me sane. The Australian doctor I used to have, just retired ... he once said that both the Australian and US VA medical teams had tried over 71 different mood stabilizers and NONE were ever a permanent answer for PTSD. I'm pretty sure most of my "Strike Team" had permanent issues later in their civilian lives. What we gave for our country only to be hated/distrusted by most Americans just shocked me. I hope you missed out on. Keeping in mind that less than 8% were actual combat arms, which includes mortar, artillery and Track Vehicles. We spent our whole tour in the A Shaw Valley area and the Laos Boarder. I never saw a village or villager, just NVA regulars ... I've told none of my family, from sons the uncles about the war ... they wouldn't understand ... even my father was afraid of me and I didn't see him for over a month after I hit the states... the base was 43 miles from his home? I so loved my sons and did everything I could to not poison their minds ... I left the Army at work.

The Media isnt not to blame.

not true many vets are dangerous

This Moran is part of the problem. He was given this position by Rory Diamond ( nepotism ) which is a policy within the company. I know because it was used to fire my girlfriend. This fool steps in and fires 20 people. Good job Carl, that’s been the exact problem the entire time. Your management team goes through personal faster than its dogs !!!

You need to resign !! You’re literally using the same punch lines dummy Diamond used! It’s 16.8 veterans a month. But, given your only experience is marketing. Not surprised you’re in charge.

Long life and prosperity

We the civilians of this great powerful nation, the U.S.A MAY God in heaven, bless America may God through Christ. Jesus bless all of you powerful strong veterans, who fought to save this great country God bless.

Thank You Vets, and may God Bless You and Yours!

15 things/.. The best training in this world, United States. Training for what? Not what you think (I can lead), it is what you can do as a group to defend and live. US Navy. 15 things?? One is order.

This man has zero experience with service animals or veterans with mental health issues. So why is he the CEO ?

I know that my dad likes the army he was over there fighting for everybody for our country I’m his youngest daughter and the baby of the kid at the three of us and it’s hard my dad just passed away November 5 2023 my dad passed away at 10:35 AM on And yes he was in the army with him Army and yes he was in the army when he was 17 he’s He’s 84 and my dad is passed away this past week so it’s hard on me because I’m the youngest daughter I’m the baby and my dad told me he want to Armi funeral

My dad was 17 when he went into the army he’s 84 years old right now he just passed away November 5 so I have this year of 2023 my dad wanted a veteran funeral I went to the funeral home yesterday they said veterans do not get paid for the funerals so I guess I’ll have a funeral at the church and I will cremate my dad and bury him in tennis and hold in Aldrich somewhere

My dad was in the army when he was 17 my dad is 84 years old and my dad just passed away this week he wants a veteran funeral I asked the funeral home if they pay for they said no they do not pay for funerals for veterans so it’s coming out of my pocket live in Springfield Missouri and Adriana Alldredge Road on Tennessee Street and Aldrich

I find this to be a really helpful video clip. I am not American military vet, but a South African military vet of 14 years service. 1975, the year of the fall of Saigon in Vietnam (in many ways the "end" of the Vietnam War) was also the year that South Africa invaded Angola (in many ways the "start" of the Angolan War), which continued for another 13 years until 1988 (I think), when South Africa withdrew from Namibia etc, and Namibia became independent. It was, in many ways, the last battle of the Cold War, fought on African soil. . . . . I think ALL of your 15 points apply equally to us South African military vets. . . Thank you for taking the trouble to make this video clip. It is much appreciated, even by a non-American.

Civilians need to watch this video because they are idiots I deal with it everyday and I do have ptsd it needs to be on every news station and in every newspaper for the people to learn and broadcast to every cell phone to get the Civilians to listen and learn

The national guard is separate from the the reserves we areto serve state and federal the reserve is federal only

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participating. God bless you all.

I really will love to hear. Thank you.

Yes, as a caregiver,I treat people the way I will love to be treated should I be I need of care in future probably for age or any other future, this is important too.

I apply respect by involving people in their care, decision, taking excuse before taking action, respect their opinion because the are subject to their opinion,preparing delicious meal to their taste.

Permit me to add that finding little time self care, listening to Radio, sitting on sun, reading..

This is so interesting..

I would like to add that respect is giving due regard to people and environment.

It's hard to narrow down what I did. Lol my job was 88m, but I did soooo much more, especially during deployments.

I am listening. Love the topic.

One of the 1st things, I want them know I could f them up yet be professional and civil. Active duty is the best way to go, full Army. Live it everyday with awesome people.

Absolutely excellent. Thank you.

How Many Tears Have Fallen Tears so many have fallen Through the years for the Greatest Nation ever Tears for the number one life liberty the pursuit of happiness America Tears for the sons and daughters that never returned home Warrior soldiers all Tears wiped from the cheeks of so many wives Shed by the children with only faint memories Tears behind the mother's veil On father's handkerchief Tears at the base of the white stone That wet the flowers and flags Tears at the sound of taps played in the distance For the memories of buddies Tears at the sight and sound of dog tags boots Empty Tears when the aircraft flyover Stars shining brightly Tears as the ships sail Anchors aweigh Tears at roll call With no reply to a name called How many tears have fallen Bless them all God Save America Dr. Sack 5/30/2021

Never ask a veteran that served in combat about what happen. Most do not want to remember it. My Grandmother gave me wise consul about not talking to my uncle about his service in WW2.

Two suicides on USAA campus in one week. One employee jump to his death on 08/26/23 and another employee shot himself on 08/28/23. Both because of layoff.

Tell that to the veteran who beat me just for looking at him. People with ptsd are violent.

This opened up my mind about everything that was taught in this video. Thank you for making it, but most importantly, thank you ALL for your service.

Beautifully done. So important. I'm USO Volunteer here in New England and a mental health/addiction provider with a special place in my heart for military and their families (in all phases of duty status), first responders, and law enforcement. Although I knew all 15 🙂I loved when you said "Allow for them to be changed". We had peer group this AM and one of the men told us about PsychArmor. Will be looking into more of your programs. ~ Jenn
