John Rowan was re-elected to an eighth term as the National President of Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) at the organization’s 19th National Convention in Spokane, Washington. During this interview, he spoke of how, when our vets came back from Vietnam, there were no ticker-tape parades and even some of the mainline veterans' organizations turned their backs on the vets. Hence the start of VVA to serve the unique needs of the cast-aside warriors. We think that was a result of what these men faced coming home is the basis on which Americans have built greater respect for our current servicemen and women. Listen in to hear how the organization is still serving veterans and their families, many of which are still paying the Agent Orange penalty.

Stephen “Butch” Whitehead National Commander of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) in this interview with Bill Hodges speaks to the value-added this organization is providing to those who served their country. For those not familiar with The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) it is one of the premier veterans organizations that has taken on the task of helping veterans work their way through filing disability claims for injuries suffered while in military service. He reminds us that there is no statute of limitations on when you file the claim and it can mean thousands of dollars in monthly payments along with guaranteed access to the VA hospital system. With that said the DAV is so much more and by listening you will learn about their legislative actions and how chapters are serving the veterans community.

Clara Reynolds, CEO of the Crisis Line describes to you what you would get if you dialed 211 on the phone.  What would you say if I told you that many crisis involving veterans and their families could be averted by this simple action, dial 211? Most people stare at me blankly when I ask that question. 211 is where you call if your life is in turmoil and you need help. 911 is for medical emergencies and 211 is for almost everything else. Anyone can call it and get free counseling, but if you are a vet when you call in, ask for a veteran to be your counselor. These folks are uniquely qualified to serve veterans and their families as they are trained to be able to open doors for you that you probably do not know exist. Whether you are a veteran or not, take a few minutes to listen to how they can help you.

Sheriff Chronister is a trailblazer in the repair of lives corrupted by war. He is deeply committed to helping veterans who come into contact with the law return to being useful citizens. Listen while he shares information on the new veteran’s section of the jail and how it is centered on helping the vet, in conjunction with other agencies, to return to a productive life.
We should point out that Sheriff Chronisters' actions are not just something that the law enforcement arm is doing in a vacuum. He has worked with our Public Defender Julianne Holt and our Veterans Treatment Court Judge Michael Scionti to make it a seamless system of rehabilitation whenever possible.  The proof of the value of this program is that in the end veterans moving through it have a recidivism rate of less than 10% and when you compare that to an overall recidivism rate in the state of Florida 36% you can see how well the program is working.

To see the other programs by the Public Defender and the Veterans treatment Court look to these to podcasts in our library.

Legal help for vets who find themselves in trouble with the law.

Judge Michael J Scionti and the Veterans Treatment Court - Recidivism is in the 10% range, much better than the national rate of about 76%.
