Home | Helping Hands In football, when an interception takes place, the player who catches the football screams, "OSKIE!", which alerts his teammates that an interception occurred. As a result, they turn and block for that player to "take it to the house". Many youth and transitioning adults need help and very few peopl...

I recently read this on another page and as we head towards Veterans Day I think the message is on point and worth sharing.

To understand a Military Veteran you must know:

We left home as teenagers or in our early twenties for an unknown adventure.

We loved our country enough to defend it and protect it with our own lives.
We said goodbye to friends and family and everything we knew. We learned the basics and then we scattered in the wind to the far corners of the Earth. We found new friends and new family.
We became brothers and sisters regardless of color, race or creed.
We had plenty of good times, and plenty of bad times.

We didn’t get enough sleep. We smoked and drank too much. We picked up both good and bad habits. We worked hard and played harder.
We didn’t earn a great wage. We experienced the happiness of mail call and the sadness of missing important events. We didn’t know when, or even if, we were ever going to see home again.
We grew up fast, and yet somehow, we never grew up at all.

We fought for our freedom, as well as the freedom of others. Some of us saw actual combat, and some of us didn’t. Some of us saw the world, and some of us didn’t. Some of us dealt with physical warfare, most of us dealt with psychological warfare.

We have seen and experienced and dealt with things that we can’t fully describe or explain, as not all of our sacrifices were physical. We participated in time honored ceremonies and rituals with each other, strengthening our bonds and camaraderie. We counted on each other to get our job done and sometimes to survive it at all. We have dealt with victory and tragedy. We have celebrated and mourned. We lost a few along the way.

When our adventure was over, some of us went back home, some of us started somewhere new and some of us never came home at all.

We have told amazing and hilarious stories of our exploits and adventures.
We share an unspoken bond with each other, that most people don’t experience, and few will understand.
We speak highly of our own branch of service, and poke fun at the other branches. We know however, that, if needed, we will be there for our brothers and sisters and stand together as one, in a heartbeat.

Being a Veteran is something that had to be earned, and it can never be taken away. It has no monetary value, but at the same time it is a priceless gift.
People see a Veteran and they thank them for their service. When we see each other, we give that little upwards head nod, or a slight smile, knowing that we have shared and experienced things that most people have not.

So, from myself to the rest of the veterans out there, I commend and thank you for all that you have done and sacrificed for your country.

Try to remember the good times and make peace with the bad times.
Share your stories. But most importantly, stand tall and proud, for you have earned the right to be called a Veteran.

I’m a VETERAN!

Today is National Hero Day, a moment to honor the people we look up to and who inspire us to be the best person we can possibly be.

HOW TO OBSERVE
Honor the heroes in your life. Give them a shout-out to let them know how much they inspire you and how much you appreciate them.

Be a hero in someone’s life, too. Use your talent to teach someone a vital skill. Other ways to be heroic include:

Donating blood
Volunteering
Giving to a charity that serves those in need
Organize a fundraiser for a non-profit organization
Listen to the needs of others and fill the void

Who are your heroes? Share their story in the comments.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was guarded by an all-woman team for the first time ever "Never limit yourself because of somebody else’s lack of imagination."

Perko's Cafe on Micron Avenue in Sacramento ticks with chatter on a sunny, September, Friday morning. At 0800 you will find their spacious dining room filled with 2 dozen Vietnam Veterans united over hot coffee, breakfast and their deep war ties reaching back over 50 years. Vets find comfort in their experiences, exchanging stories, sharing their resources, overcoming health scares, and even bringing their homemade salsa to share. Prayers, triumphs and encouragement are passed freely and hot as the coffee.
O.S.K.I.E. 6 reaches its arms tightly around these gentle fellows extending love, support and connection through a wrap-around network offering counseling, therapeutic release, optimum personalized opportunity. Comrades cheerfully join together with the veteran centered non-profit that promotes mending for Veterans and their families. It's an honor for the O.S.K.I.E. 6 organization to join these heroes and hold space for their memories.
