Supported by…http://www.military-missions.org

“Have you ever put your foot in your mouth when you were talking to someone? Sometimes our intentions are good, but we simply say the wrong thing. Join us for VOW Talk Radio on Tuesday, October 16, at 7:00 pm EDT to discuss some of the ways we can be sure to say the right thing to our veterans and their family members. If we can come to a better understanding about where our veterans are coming from, then we can learn what to say and what NOT to say when we find ourselves in a conversation.”

Shawn Gourley of Military with PTSD will be joining us for this discussion. If you are a veteran or a family member, we hope you will join in the discussion by calling our live chat line or logging into our live chatroom during the show.

I listened to this new radio program this morning… A great way to start the day as a calming and slothing alternative to get your day started. This radio clip discusses music therapy and the value to military families challenged daily while loved ones are deployed and in life after war. It is very cathartic, and feeling comes across immediately, making you feel connected with these enthusiastic spouses and loved ones of veterans. You can also call in to participate. The main topic of this particular show, with Shawn Gourleyhttp://www.squidoo.com/the-war-at-home-one-familys-fight-against-ptsd, as a guest is “how to talk to combat veterans.”
