U.S. Navy Veterans & Asbestos Exposure / Mesothelioma
Everyone knows that members of the military have put their lives on the line for their country. What not everyone knows is that members of the United States Navy continued to have their lives at risk long after they left the military. Beginning shortly before World War II and continuing through the 1970s, Navy ships and shipyards were literally full of asbestos...Read the Full Article Here

The elderly parking lot attendant wasn't in a good mood!

Neither was Sam Bierstock. It was around 1 a.m., and Bierstock, a Delray Beach , Fla. , eye doctor, business consultant, corporate speaker and musician, was bone tired after appearing at an event.

He pulled up in his car, and the parking attendant began to speak. 'I took two bullets for this country and look what I'm doing,' he said bitterly.

FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
The Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial is truly one of city’s hidden treasures. For veterans, it recalls the 646 Philadelphians who lost their lives in one of the most protracted conflicts in American history. For many others, the Memorial goes unnoticed and rarely is a visitor’s destination.

In large part, this stems from the enclosed nature of the Memorial, a reflection of the special reverence sought by Vietnam veterans who often believed their service was either ignored or slighted. The design as envisioned by original architect Perry M. Morgan was an enclosed amphitheater that facilitated the sanctity veterans sought but created other problems scarcely imaginable at the time.

The secluded Memorial also served to breed vandalism and vulgar behavior that desecrates this hallowed ground. Constant vigilance by the police can only do so much to stop those who would deface the memorial, use it as a recreational area or to hide their inappropriate activities.

Visit AmericasHeroesAtWork.gov A unique program helps employers support returning service members who are coping with two increasingly common battlefield injuries-Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which are expected to affect hundreds of thousands of veterans as they return to civilian life. The program, called America's Heroes at Work (www.AmericasHeroesAtWork), equips employers and workforce development professionals with tools and best practices to help employees with TBI and/or PTSD succeed in the workplace.

Symptoms of TBI or PTSD range from headaches and vertigo to short-term memory deficits- however, most can be addressed through simple workplace supports. Dispelling the myths about TBI and PTSD, the program offers a variety of educational resources for employers including fact sheets, Web-based training tools, presentations and more. The initiative is managed by the Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (www.dol.gov/odep) and Veterans' Employment and Training Service (www.dol.gov/vets).

Don't miss the premiere of "Lioness" on PBS November 13th...

Take an intimate look at war through the eyes of women and the U.S. military policy that bans them from combat.

Follow the link below too see the trailer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How did five female Army support soldiers--mechanics, supply clerks and engineers--end up fighting alongside the Marines in some of the bloodiest counterinsurgency battles of the Iraq War? Directors Meg McLagan and Daria Sommers give an intimate look at war through the eyes of the first women in U.S. history sent into direct ground combat, despite a policy that bans them from doing so. Through harrowing personal stories, these women candidly share their experiences in Iraq as well from their lives back home to form a portrait of the emotional and psychological effects of war.
