Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential handbook for anyone who has ever returned from a war zone, and their spouse, partner, or family members. Being back home can be as difficult, if not more so, than the time spent serving in a combat zone. It’s with this truth that Colonel Charles W. Hoge, MD, a leading advocate for eliminating the stigma of mental health care, presents Once a Warrior—Always a Warrior, a groundbreaking resource with essential new insights for anyone who has ever returned home from a war zone. In clear practical language, Dr. Hoge explores the latest knowledge in combat stress, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), mTBI (mild traumatic brain injury), other physiological reactions to war, and their treatment options. Recognizing that warriors and family members both change during deployment, he helps them better understand each other’s experience, especially living with enduring survival skills from the combat environment that are often viewed as “symptoms” back home. The heart of this book focuses on what’s necessary to successfully navigate the transition—“LANDNAV” for the home front. Once a Warrior—Always a Warrior shows how a warrior’s knowledge and skills are vital for living at peace in an insane world.

Download or read book Caring Warrior written by Jane Menetrey and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great men and women should be written about as examples to others. If the reader absorbs just a fraction of their qualities, good comes from it. That is what author Jane Menetrey believed when she realized she had married a truly great man, Army General Louis C. Menetrey. The two met in the last stages of their lives and after a cross-country romance, they married in Florida in 2003. Jane soon became enthralled with the military and all its complexities, which were brand new to her. Having been in journalism most of her life, she was curious and open to all that went on around her. It wasn't long before the brilliance of her husband began to shine, and she realized Lou was an extraordinary leader and intellectual with a penchant for honesty and straightforwardness. Shortly after their marriage, Jane noticed Lou was losing some abilities. When Alzheimer's was diagnosed, the sadness that the world was losing this man overwhelmed her. She decided to try to capture his essence in a book for his family and friends (something he probably wouldn't have allowed if he had been healthy). She asked friends and former soldiers to record their remembrances of Gen. Menetrey. Author David Maraniss kindly gave his permission to quote from his book, "They Marched into Sunlight: War and Peace Vietnam and America," which was the setting in which Menetrey stepped into the military spotlight. Along the way, Jane's book seemed to take on a life of its own and moved beyond the "family and friends" direction. The communiqués proved that, indeed, this was a special man. From the fields of Vietnam to the command of all forces in Korea, Menetrey was the ultimate leader. Major General Guy (Sandy) Meloy, Ret. wrote, "There is absolutely no question that Lou Menetrey was an intellectual giant and probably the most brilliant man I ever knew in or out of the Army." Col. Ed Walker, Ret. said, "Had General Menetrey been commanding the force that invaded Iraq, the war would be over and most of the troops would be home." General Colin Powell, Ret. spoke in a retirement tribute and said, "You're leaving a magnificent legacy, Lou." A retired Army Colonel told Lou's son-law, Roger Hammond, "Lou was a legend in the Army and was the main General responsible for changing the Army from what it was during Vietnam to what it is today." These are just a fraction of the accolades heaped on the General. Jane wished that General Menetrey's words and life could be an inspiration to anyone she could reach. Besides the messages, other contents are from Lou's files, from experiences he and I have had together, and from his own words from the Senior Officer Oral History for the US Army Military History Institute.

As our Heavenly Father, he says "I approve of who you are " As a Servant Warrior, we are invited to two distinct roles. One is to serve the public well and the other is to be a warrior in the face of evil to protect the public from evil. The Servant Warrior explores these roles from a Biblical perspective. The Servant Warrior looks at the role of leadership, maintaining wellness and the importance of a committed marriage partner as a support mechanism for those in law enforcement....
