Chaplain Edward I. Choi
U.S. Army-Major (Ret.)
SoCal Chapter Manager of The PTSD Foundation of America.

Ed's Story and what we as the Socal Chapter of The PTSD Foundation of America are doing to support our Combat Vets.

Warrior Groups are fellowships for combat veterans and their families to share their experiences, testimonies of healing, compassion, and hope in overcoming the invisible wounds of war. Participants are required to be military combat veterans or family members of those who have served in combat and be willing to face the challenges of managing post-traumatic stress and related conditions.

This is not a treatment program, but rather a peer coaching and support program whose primary purpose is helping combat veterans find healing, balance, and positive re-integration with their families and in society. In addition, The Warrior Family Support Groups exist to assist family members (spouse, parent, sibling, child, caretaker, etc.) of PTSD sufferers in understanding and healing.

Appreciation Thank you for your service! I am happy it is said it is done so, because you mean it, it’s the thing to say or its just words. If you do really feel this way please be good to your fellow Americans, your community and take some pride in what this great nation represents and what our flag represents. Freedom has a taste that is so great for those who fought and understand the opposite of our freedoms. Please take some pride in ownership of your hard work in this country and for those who built this country and the opportunity’s that exists. Freedom is your freedom. Personal Responsibility is yours and yours alone.

You were the most important piece of gear on the planet, you had people depending on you for life and death, life is short, the loss is happening, you had much responsibility, camaraderie, respect, and support. when you come home get out Transition is hard and unsure how and where to go. What Lane are you in, what direction will you go. What direction will life be like? Where do I find Camaraderie? how do I adapt in the American stream of rules, regulations, culture, and so much more?

Bad Passion and Direction, Drug and Alcohol other vices, smoking, unhealthy eating, sex, unhealthy relationships. Eventually pushing the family away. Isolation.

Gladiator: It’s not what we do in death that will matter but what we do in life that can echo an eternity.

Ride for 22 - https://www.ridefor22.org/

"Ride for 22" The mission states we will do three things:
1) Spread awareness of PTS and educate the public
2) Serve as a living memorial
3) Provide support and comfort to the loved ones left behind

We hope to accomplish this mission in several ways; participating in ride events, recruiting other riders to join us in raising awareness, being visible at events such as ride’s and health expos, networking families to help each other through the grieving process, help with ride registration fees for veterans battling PTS or the families of those who have lost the battle, share helpful resources to help those suffering or dealing with loss, and much more.
Our hope by raising awareness and educating the public is that we can help eliminate some of the stigmas that surround military PTS and allow for veterans to seek and receive the help and social support they so desperately need and reduce the number 22 to 0.
