National Warrior Call Day is November 17, 2024, a national day of action encouraging all Americans to reach out and connect with the servicemembers and veterans in their life. On National Warrior Call Day, you should: 1. Call a servicemember or veteran. 2. See how they are doing. Remind them you care. Be honest and let them be honest. 3. If needed, point them to available resources that can help. https://hubs.la/Q02YpTvj0

On Veterans Day, we reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of all who served. One excellent way to continue honoring Veterans? By taking action on the seen and unseen issues that can impact them at home. As an organization devoted to ensuring mental health as essential health, we know that there are policies/programs that show promise in supporting Veterans through the continuum of care, from early intervention to evidence-based treatments and supported recovery.

🦑 Introducing the Coin of Resilience: A Symbol of Strength, Brotherhood, and Healing 🦑 In the midst of my own unseen battles, where storms only I could feel raged on, I leaned on symbols that reminded me I wasn’t fighting alone. These inspirations led to the birth of the Coin of Resilience. More than mere metal, it serves as a lifeline. One side features an Octopus supporting a Spartan helmet, symbolizing unbreakable brotherhood during the toughest times. The flip side is adorned with the Kraken, embodying resilience under extreme pressures. For veterans, first responders, or individuals facing trauma and challenges, this coin serves as a daily reassurance: you are not alone. Beyond personal support, all proceeds for each purchase go to The Heroes Journey , led by retired Green Beret Scott Mann. Through initiatives like LAST OUT: Elegy of a Green Beret , Scott empowers veterans and families to voice their stories and embark on healing journeys. I am deeply inspired by Scott's commitment to uniting veterans and civilians. This coin not only offers strength but also backs a cause that aids those fighting their own battles in finding solace in their narratives. Please go to www.coinofresilience.com to secure a coin. By doing so, you can provide someone with a tangible symbol to navigate tough times and be part of a larger movement. Remember, no battle is too heavy when fought together. Together, we heal. #CoinOfResilience | #TogetherWeFight | #MentalResilience | #VeteransSupport | #SupportOurHeroes | #PTSDawareness | #HealingTogether | #TheHerosJourney

Where’s Claire Memorial Day Weekend?:Celebrating the Service of Those Who Have Fallen with Those Are Still With Us Douglas MacArthur’s insight that those who serve in the military desire peace more than the rest of us rings true, especially on days like this one. It is they after all, he said, who must pay the greatest penalty. I’m surrounded by veterans, as they celebrate the service of fallen brethren and tackle the often daunting “penalties” visited upon those who survive the battlefield. Rather than rattle off statistics for us to get lost in, I’ll ask a few questions for our joint consideration: Should ANY PERSON who serves or served in the military ever confront the trauma of not having the food needed to thrive? Or…should any one of them, struggle with untreated (though treatable) medical, mental or emotional health challenges? Or…should even one of them ever feel alone? My answers for veterans and for all of us is a resounding NO! As is consistently the case with hunger, it exists with veterans alongside other barriers. I count my company today as heroes— not only because of what they did on the battlefield, but for how they bravely fight what, according to some here, is a far more difficult battle—returning home. Due, in large part, to the vision and support of #DanStarks, veterans have a platform here with which to learn from and lean on each other. Their shared experiences are being leveraged in powerful—groundbreaking even—ways. Governor #MarkGordon is here, as are the First Lady’s fingerprints (#JennieGordon), and #TimSheppard (#WyomingHungerInitiative) and #RachelBailey(#FoodBankofWyoming). If you’d like to know my precise location in this beautiful state, take a look at the video below. #WheresClaire #HonorService #feedingamerica #MakeHungerHistory

By all means celebrate, have fun with friends and family but take time to remember why you have your freedom. A few tips of etiquette for the upcoming weekend, if I may: 1: Please do not wish me or my fellow Veterans a "Happy Memorial Day". 2: Avoid thanking a Veteran for their service this weekend. Our time is the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. We woke up this morning. The last Monday in May is set aside for those who did not. 3: When you plan your family time to celebrate Memorial Day do some research. Independence Day is a day to celebrate. Memorial Day is a day of Remembrance. 4: Plan your travels to include visiting a cemetery or a Memorial. Take your children. 5: If you see a Veteran weeping on Memorial Day, do not try to comfort them by telling them you feel their pain. You do not. 6: If you see tears in a Veteran's eyes on any day, don't assume they are sad. Sometimes we become so full of Patriotic pride that it spills over and runs down our cheeks. It comes moreso with the accumulation of reveilles. 7: Savor the time spent with family and friends. Have a safe holiday weekend. And, by all means, enjoy that hotdog in honor of those that made this day possible! And teach your children, because not all the schools do. Remember our fallen....God Bless America Cryoeeze22 Inc 501(c)3 Inc 501(c)3 #memorialdayweekend #cryoeeze22 #veterans #22aday

VA Expands Veterans Legacy Memorial The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has expanded its Veterans Legacy Memorial (VLM) platform, now allowing living veterans to document and share their life stories. Originally created to honor deceased veterans, the VLM has grown into the largest repository of veteran memories and service records. This new feature enables veterans to upload personal narratives, photos, and memorabilia, contributing to the historical record for future generations. Veterans can access this new feature through the “Your Story, Your Legacy” page on the VLM website at www.vlm.cem.va.gov. Since its launch in 2019, the platform has collected over 165,000 submissions, and now encourages veterans to share their own stories. Content will be moderated by the National Cemetery Administration (NCA) to ensure compliance with VLM guidelines. Acting Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs Ronald Walters emphasized the significance of this update, noting that it allows veterans to preserve their stories for posterity. The VLM now serves not only as a memorial for the deceased but as a living archive where veterans can document their service, achievements, and personal reflections. For more information or assistance, veterans can visit the Veterans Legacy Memorial website or use the VA’s chatbot at www.va.gov to navigate available benefits and services. This expansion reflects the VA’s commitment to honoring veterans in a personal and lasting way, ensuring their stories are preserved for future generations. Read more @ bit.ly/4hgrPj6

D-Day, 06 JUN 44, 0600 hours, 666, more than 150,000 Allied troops landed on the shores of Normandy, in Nazi-occupied France. Was it a masonic ritual of blood sacrifice? People who plan these events know the exact esoteric meaning behind them, and they get planned much in advance. My grandfather, Charles A. Narmour Sr, survived the 2nd wave at Omaha Beach and the Battle of the Bulge, so this is very upsetting to me as well, and the last thing I want to do is make an irresponsible post about a topic that has negatively affected so many American lives for the last 80 years because of lost loved ones. In fact, approximately 10,414 troops died from both sides on D-Day alone. 4,414 Allied troops, including 2,501 Americans, needlessly lost their lives, and Germany lost approximately 6,000 troops on D-Day. Unless some new information comes forward, I most likely won’t ever be able to prove a masonic ritual of blood sacrifice took place on D-Day, but in my opinion, it’s our responsibility to honor the fallen by not settling for anything other than the truth because, like a lion, the truth can defend itself. I’m sure they’re observing us intently today from Heaven because they know the truth. Unfortunately, this is the first of many lies pertaining to WWII that need to be prayed over, exposed, and respectfully discussed, and Patriots other than myself also need to step up and use their unique expertise and knowledge, so we can move forward as a Republic. The faster we wake up to the deception, the faster we can achieve collective consciousness as a group, and end the madness we’re currently experiencing as a nation as soon as possible. I’ve known about this narrative pertaining to D-Day for a few years, and I’ve been researching and praying against the forces of darkness even longer, but I didn’t feel comfortable enough to make a post about it until today, 06 JUN 24, exactly 80 years after D-Day and in the year of The Great Awakening. It would mean the narrative that’s always been told about the rainout on 05 JUN 44 and subsequent 24 hour postponement until 06 JUN 44 was a preplanned lie all along, but it really did rain, and they probably wouldn’t have questioned it anyway. However, I’m sure they had a myriad of alibis on standby if needed. Those young men were nothing more than pawns in a banker’s war. The ones who died after volunteering to go to war because of what reportedly happened at Pearl Harbor on 07 DEC 41 are the reason I’m willing to put my name and reputation on the line. Heavenly Father, because D-Day happened 80 years ago, it means those who were doing the fighting that day would be around 100 years old if they’re still alive and cognitive. This one’s bigger than we are, and we realize it’s now yours. Thanking you in advance, in Jesus name, Amen! Please pray constantly for spiritual discernment. #DDay Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Ephesians 5:11
