If you are thinking this is about getting you to become a member of this church, it isn't. I spoke with Major Leslie Haines, Executive Director of Lutheran Military Veterans and Family Ministries. This is all about helping to heal your soul.
This is part of the email I received.
I am the Executive Director of Lutheran Military Veterans and Families Ministries (www.lmvfm.org). I stumbled upon your video and would like to be able to incorporate it in a training program we have for civilian community care providers i.e., therapists, clergy, counselors, and those who are going into a like profession/vocation.
Our minsitry provides at no cost to veterans or their family members short term counseling and assistance, as well as resource assistance. Additionally, we provide a series of courses (Basic Training Seminars) for professionals and students.
We are a small non-profit ministry which I planted during my 2d year of seminary-which came after my second deployment.
She found me because of my videos on Great Americans. We talked for a long time, shared the same views and I feel truly blessed there is a group out there doing this work. The mind-body-spirit connection cannot be dismissed. Trauma is Greek for "wound" and it is a spiritual wound instead of a mental illness. It is caused by an outside force and is regarded as an anxiety disorder.
For women veterans there is more than one kind of trauma they experience during their service and that is sexual trauma. For all these years, women have been the least served even as their numbers increased. Now with talk of allowing women to serve in combat roles, their needs will increase even more. We can do better and this is a good start.
