Military Transition News - Depleted Uranium

Veterans In Motion and many of us in the electronic communications industry really want for people to research about how depleted uranium is affecting our troops in Iraq and abroad.

Just today, I noticed more blogs are addressing the depleted uranium situation. V.I.M. would like to advise all military personnel to get copies of all medical and personnel records. The last thing you'd want to happen is to be informed that either of your records are missing.


Results of Missing Military Records:


1. If your personnel records are lost, you may not be able to prove you were in Iraq.

2. If your medical records are lost, you may not be eligible to submit for compensation of a medical claim.

3. As time goes on, future medical problems may arise from exposure to depleted uranium and other toxic elements in Iraq.


Other Sources:


1. Here's a great article that also mentions the "Beyond Treason" web site and documentary:

Article on Depleted Uranium

2. Documentary

Beyond Treason Documentary - Study of Depleted Uranium and medical illnesses of deployed forces. This information includes and precedes the current Iraqi War. All veterans who have participated in a conflict or warfare testing may want to see the above websites.

*Thanks Keld Bach's Press Cuttings. We didn't have Trackback, yet we appreciate the information.

Remember, depleted uranium not only affects the military person overseas, it may also affect future offspring and family members. Please make multiple copies of all records and keep them in a safe place.

Denzel Washington - Fisher House Visit

There's been a great deal of email traffic in the military and civilian communities regarding Denzel Washington's visit to Brooke Army Medical Center. Denzel has to be one of the most admired and respected actors of all time. Below is a link that clarifies what actually took place during Denzel's visit. The below article also mentions the role of the Fisher House for our injured military members and their families.

Personal Comments:


I'd like to personally thank Mr. Denzel Washington and his family for taking the time out of their day to support our troops. I'm more of a fan than I ever was and his compassion is heart felt.

SOLDIER LIFE: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN AMERICAN SOLDIER
New Book Detailing the Everyday Life of an American Soldier's Experience with The War on Terror from LBF Books

PITTSBURGH, PA , Aug. 18 - LBF Books to publish Soldier Life: A Day in the Life of an American Soldier (ISBN 1-885093-44-6 ). The book details the author's experiences while deployed and back home, weaving a gut-wrenching, heartfelt tapestry of experiences and emotions unique to soldiers' living and dying in this war. American Soldier's work comprised of elements drawn from his critically acclaimed and widely read weblog ( www.soldierlife.com), aims to bring the grim, yet human face of war to readers everywhere.

The author, writing under a pseudonym to protect his identity, delivers a first-person account of the constantly changing world of an American Soldier attempting to balance both family and responsibility while enduring the reality of war. Soldier Life: A Day in the Life of an American Soldier chronicles the events engulfing modern day patriots, and the hardships he willingly endured to ensure safety and security of family and country left behind.

Soldier Life: A Day in the Life of an American Soldier is required reading for those looking for an intimate insight into the minds of fathers, husbands, and warriors serving in this war.

LBF Books plans to release Soldier Life: A Day in the Life of an American Soldier in December, 2005.

American Soldier & LBF Books will be donating a large portion of the proceeds to Soldiers Angels ( http://www.soldiersangels.org/) and Operation Troop Appreciation (http://www.operationtroopappreciation.org/). Both organizations are federally recognized programs that assist Troops abroad with care packages and items needed while deployed.

Last week we discussed ethical behavior. This week
Veterans In Motion is focusing on current and past
deployed service men and women.

It takes great commitment to serve our country, deploy under
austere conditions, and to put oneself in harm’s way.

I’d like to share with you the most recent documentary on
deployed military forces and some of the reasons why many
of our men and women are coming back ill from the desert.
There is information regarding the Beyond Treason DVD
on the below web site. Beyond Treason is a documentary
made for the service man or woman who are seeking answers.

Depleted Uranium is one of the key factors to the illnesses of
our past and current deployed forces. Depleted Uranium
contaminates food, water, and affects the human body mercilessly.
This one element can never be environmentally cleaned up and
the environment it affects is contaminated indefinitely. The
documentary further explains why military family members
become sick after a deployed service man or woman returns home.

The documentary shows key facts from doctors, prior deployed
forces, and a whole host of military supporters. If you know
someone who is ill from serving in the desert or who has served
in Iraq’s surrounding countries, please pass the
below web site to them. Vietnam, WWI and WWII Veterans
are also discussed in the documentary.

Beyond Treason Web Site:

http://www.beyondtreason.com/

The information is very graphic and this is the type
of web site you may want to review at home. Additional
comments will be posted this week regarding the
documentary and will be located at:

www.veteransinmotion.blogspot.com

Stay tuned for resources and coaching tips in future
newsletters. Be safe.

Contact us at vetsinmotion@aol.com and let us
know the challenges you see ahead of you. All
sessions will be held telephonically.

If it’s hard to come up with the answers, sometimes
it’s a sign that you’re open to many opportunities.

See you next week and be safe.

Military Transition - Iraq War

Hi Veterans and Military Members,

I just wanted to pass a note and prayer to the casualties we've experienced in the Iraqi War. Their family members have encountered many losses and my heart felt prayers are with them.

If you know of any Iraq Veterans that are leaving the military, please have them contact Veterans In Motion. We know of quite a few resources that will assist them.

Once again, our prayers are with the men and women serving our country. May your travels be safe.



Your Military Transition Coach,


Johnetta Matthews
