I'm 100% P & T for PTSD, however, I have a number of secondary
health problems associated to the PTSD as well as chronic pain from a bomb blast I took in May 1970.
I'm extremely
concerned about the huge increase of demand for PTSD therapy and over-all PTSD care. The VA was not prepared for this. I'm sure they did not hire the new staff to prepare
for this huge increase in demand. Yet the VA is NOT even in Catch-up Time.
The older vets are proudly and respectfully
sharing their time with America's most recent PTSD Disabled, Honorable Vets.

However, the VA should start hiring more
staff now...

Veterans Affairs Nurses, AFGE Join Group
to Advocate for Increased Staffing and Improved Patient Care
Monday March 27, 1:17 pm ET
New Group to Help Nurses Gain Voice in Fixing
Health Care System
WASHINGTON, March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Chronic under-funding
of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), insufficient staffing levels, poor compensation and mandatory overtime are just
a few of the issues causing a patient care crisis within the VA says the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE),
the union representing VA nurses. To confront the growing crisis, AFGE recently joined RNs Working Together, a coalition of
AFL-CIO unions tasked with coordinating organizing and bargaining activities to improve patient care nationally and give nurses
a strong voice in fixing health care systems in the public and private sectors.
"As VA nurses struggle to care for the nation's veterans, this new
structure will allow unions to pool our resources, leading to more aggressive legislative, political and bargaining activities
that will benefit nurses and challenge the way the government and the health care industry treat some of its most valuable
resources," says AFGE National Vice President Jane Nygaard.
RNs Working Together is an Industrial Coordinating Committee (ICC),
a new structure that is designed to foster common strategies and practices for unions within a given industry. Unions that
agree to join ICCs will receive additional support from the labor federation. AFL-CIO unions that do not join the ICC will
be prohibited from organizing in that industry.
"VA nurses constantly tell us that low staffing levels top their list
of concerns," says Nygaard. "VA nurses are being forced to take care of too many patients at one time. If you talk to nurses
around the country, most will tell you that understaffing is driving nurses out of the profession and having a negative impact
on the quality of patient care."
VA nurses are especially concerned about staffing levels due to the
growing number of injured veterans returning from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and the needs of a growing older veterans
population. Despite this, the administration's fiscal 2007 budget contains no boost in nursing home funding and actually includes
a 13 percent funding cut for veterans' programs by the year 2011.
"Once again the administration has proposed a 'smoke and mirrors'
budget," says Nygaard. "The new budget is based on unproven management efficiencies, overly optimistic collection rates, and
dead-on-arrival proposals for increased drug co-pays and enrollment fees. Our veterans deserve better."
Additionally, recent studies have revealed a clear link between staffing
shortages, overworked nurses and patient care. According to a University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing study, 20,000 people
die each year because they checked into a hospital with overworked nurses. The study also found that Americans scheduled for
routine surgeries run a 31 percent greater risk of dying if they are admitted to a hospital with a severe shortage of nurses.
Staffing shortages also are leading to more mandatory overtime for already overworked nurses, high turnover rates and recruiting
problems.
"Increasing the pay for nurses would go a long way toward increased
recruiting and retention," says Nygaard. "However, when the administration refuses to properly fund the VA, we are back to
square one and that means that veterans won't get the care they need or deserve. VA nurses are extremely concerned about the
persistent wear and tear on the VA health care system, which both parallels and affects all U.S. health care systems. If something
isn't done soon, both the public and private sector systems will be broken beyond repair and this country can't afford to
let that happen."
The eight unions that comprise RNs Working Together are AFGE, United
American Nurses, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, American Federation of Teachers, Communications
Workers of America, United Steelworkers, Office and Professional Employees International Union, and United Auto Workers.
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest
federal employee union, representing 600,000 workers in the federal government and the government of the District of Columbia.

Research indicates early intervention after a traumatic event can reduce the symptoms of post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD). That’s why the more we know about PTSD, the more effective we can be as social workers to help people
overcome and cope with this mental health condition. June 27 is PTSD Awareness
Day, which was established last year by the Senate to raise public awareness about PTSD. Awareness first starts with
understanding what something is, where it comes from and how it can be treated. This
“What is PTSD?” infographic outlines the symptoms, causes and treatments for the various types of traumatic events,
and we hope this serves as a good starting point to spread awareness.

this case violates every tenet that I placed my life on the line for every day for in order to uphold our constitution. Shame on New Jersey. Your state's

USS ARIZONA Marine Remembrance At Pearl
Harbor
UPDATE: We saved the Marine
Corps Rememberance Memorial in Pearl Harbor From The National Park Service.
UPDATE: A couple
of years ago, I was the Operations Officer for the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, on the waterfront between the USS ARIZONA
and the USS BOWFIN. The Commandant of the Marine Corps was the featured speaker at the dedication of the USS ARIZONA Marine
Remembrance, 10 November 2006. The National Park Service, which administers the USS ARIZONA Memorial is renovating all of
Halawa Landing, the site of the Marine Remembrance. The Regional Director of the Natl Park Service Western Region, Jon Jarvis,
stated on the local TV news that the Marine Remembrance would be removed. I challenged him on that statement and convinced
him that would not happen without a fight. I passed the word to (disabled PTSD vet and webmaster) Jack Cunningham (Americans
Working Together), who in turn asked his readership to email Jarvis that the entire USMC would make every effort to have him
relieved of his duties if he moved that monument. I was copied on many of the emails to him from Marines, their friends and
their families that it nearly fried my computer. And...it worked. In order to save his job, Jarvis backed down. The
Remembrance now belongs to the USMC and has its' rightful place in direct view of the USS ARIZONA.

SECOND
REQUEST:
Dear Senator Oroho,
I'm writing this request (again) on behalf of Jack Cunningham, a former
active duty Marine and Vietnam veteran. Although I've never actually met him in person, simply the fact that he is a
fellow Marine in need of justice, I offer to help him in any way I can. As you may know, Marines are like that.
Marines take care of Marines.
Although I probably don't know all of the facts pertaining to his case against the State
of New Jersey, I know enough to firmly believe that he should be heard in a public forum. His charges are serious.
There are claims of abuse of power and cover-up at the highest level of the State government. When such accusations
are made, I believe the leadership has no other option than to investigate. Until that is done, all that know of him
and his charges will assume that there is indeed a cover-up. Perception is a powerful thing. Hopefully it won't
be counter to the truth, whatever that may be.
If this is allowed to continue to fester, the results will be devastating
on all involved.
If this issue is not addressed soon, my only other option is to forward this to every Marine
website and public forum I can find. That option is not a good one for any of us.
Please do the right thing and
give Jack his "day in court."
Very Respectfully, John R. Bates

I have a piece on Audie Murphy on my website. He is the basic reason PTSD was recognized by the
government. He spent much of his own money pushing the government to research the issue of nightmares, flashbacks and the
intrusive thoughts.
Many people may not know that he never drank alcohol nor smoked. He however was a compulsive gambler.
This is believed by many, to be due to his reaction of his traumatic experiences in the war.
