Reposted from @dewitty1 PRAN DeWitt 1992-1995 US Navy Aircrew Survival Equipmentman aka Parachute Rigger It's Veteran's Day in the USA. Please hold your thanks. I haven't done anything to be thankful for, really. I joined the Navy for various reasons... Because joining the Armed Forces seemed to be a tradition in our family. And more, that I think I wanted my parents to be proud of me. I was sent to boot camp in Orlando FL on the day of my grandfather's funeral. I landed in the middle of a thunderstorm. Boot camp was an overwhelming experience, I'll never forget. I'm amazed I made it through, actually. And my duty station was in Ridgecrest CA. The Desert. Naval Weapons Testing Station, China Lake. My squadron tested smart bomb software. I had to have secret clearance just to go to work. I drove miles out to the flight line every day. And I worked on pilot's survival gear, and sat at a sewing machine. I also was trained as a Plane Captain. Which sounds fancy, but it's really not. I just got to change the oil, fill the gas tank, wash the windshield and make an F-18 ready for flight, and then help a pilot taxi it out, and taxi it back in. Nothing glamorous about it. I don't regret my time in the service. But if someone asks me about joining, I don't think I'd necessarily encourage it. Especially not in today's political climate. Oh, and about not thanking me- I understand that you may want to honor Veteran's for their service. I'd rather see you do something nice for another veteran like visiting a veteran's home, or donating to a veteran's organization. There are some great ones out there like The Wounded Warrior Project, The Fisher House, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, Vietnam Veterans of America and so many more (find one you like at VeteransAdvantage.com). I do what I can, when I'm able, too. To me, that makes more of an impact. Anyway, just my thoughts. I hope you have a nice day off today, if you get one. #VeteransDayUSA2022 #PleaseDontThankMe #HonorByDoingNotThanking #helpveterans #veteransday https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck0-sURJ787/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm from Jacksonville Florida born and raised. I've tried contacting all the local news stations months ago and haven't gotten any response! I'm a Purple Heart Veteran who served in the US Army. I feel hurt that I can't get any local support for my cause and I've done my part to serve my country. Please like and share this to anyone willing to help a Veteran. Link is in my bio. If you know anyone need lawn care in the Jax Beach area, PonteVedra, and Arlington let me know. #PurpleHeartVeteran #JacksonvilleVeteran #Jacksonville #Florida #MayportVillage #Veteran #VeteranOfJacksonville #gofundme #gofundmeplease #gofundmedonations #like #likes #likesforlikes #like4like #likeforlike #share #share4share #share #helpveterans #lawncareservice #LawnCare #lawnmaintenance #follow #followforfollow #follows (at Historical Village Of Mayport)

It’s Veteran’s Day in the USA. Please hold your thanks. I haven’t done anything to be thankful for, really. I joined the Navy for various reasons… Because joining the Armed Forces seemed to be a tradition in our family. And more, that I think I wanted my parents to be proud of me. I was sent to boot camp in Orlando FL on the day of my grandfather’s funeral. I landed in the middle of a thunderstorm. Boot camp was an overwhelming experience, I’ll never forget.

Thank You Veterans For Your Service Many vets that come from serving our country often return home with depression or PTSD. Several vets about 20% return with a brain injury. I do not think there are enough services to help our vets recover! Some of the Barriers Vets Face: - embarrassment for injuries or mental health problems. - Many vets have a lack of mental health awareness. - Many vets cannot perform the same family functions when returning home. - Many have difficulties finding jobs. - Some vets who have PTSD suffer from paranoia, due to the tragic events they witnessed. - Some vets turn to substances for relief. - Brain injuries are common. Help! Helping depression and PTSD can be challenging and stressful for our clients. Counseling helps with learning new ways to think and helps an individual process trauma in a safe setting. Medication is often helpful to help reduce symptoms associated with trauma. Counseling can help an individual create goals for the future and make a plan to accomplish them! If you are a veteran and need help please contact us today! If you are a veteran family member and struggling with emotions we would be happy to help you as well. REMEMBER! Consultations are FREE! They can be done over the phone at your convenience! With a consultation you will get a preliminary diagnosis and recommendations for treatment! www.backcountrycounseling.com #veterans #thankyouforyourservice #helpveterans #vetawareness #mentalhealthawareness #counseling #vetassistance #makeachange #liveurlife #behappy #thankyouvets
