I believe that we should be active during the election season asking questions about what kind of policies and procedures the candidates would like to see regarding veterans. We have a senator up for…Continue

This could be a major step and relatively inexpensive. Sounds well worth it.

That will be great. Just in time for the fall semester.
kenyatta yamel commented on mark flower's blog post 'Sexual Assaults, Inadequate Healthcare Among Spate of Issues Facing Women Servicemembers'
Thanks to Mark for bringing out this information about the problems that women have been having with getting assistance from the VA.
Suddenly
When I blogged a few weeks ago I was really feeling down on my luck. I was focusing on the uncertainties I faced being in summer school at UWM and not receiving the amount of financial aid I had expected. Then, suddenly, I got a new job, had a good interview about being an intern at a community organization and worked out a solution to my car problems. Now, I can see solutions to some of the things that were bothering me. I even called the VA to reschedule an appointment instead of ducking…See More

A time of trials
I have survived a rather rough spring brought about by lower income after one of my jobs ended and i struggled to find a suitable replacement. i had to cut back some of my volunteer activities to focus on getting a job and finishing the semester. because i focused, i did well and achieved better than a 3.0 average out of 4. but even better i received word that i was approved for a new job that i had researched to learn whether it would be a good fit. so i start on this new adventure next week.…See More

kenyatta yamel replied to bob@dryhootch's discussion 'What Color is PTSD?'
I don't have PTSD but everything i have heard about it sounds grey. some people in the deepest pit of PTSD seem to understand something is wrong but with all the distortion, it's hard to see clearly.
The Wounded Platoon
I watched the movie and passed it along to others. It was extremely well done. I hope it will lead to needed reforms because if that was what happened to one platoon, it's likely other horrors took place involving other platoons.See More

wasn't there. I'm going to be graduating next spring, and I hope to be doing field work in the fall and spring but I'm sure we will speak sometime again.
A good semester
My semester at UWM has been a time of very positive growth which portends well for the future. I am awaiting word from the school of welfare welfare on my application for admission and a field work placement for the fall. I had positive experiences on an internship with IndependenceFirst and enjoyed fellowship with NAMI and dryhootch.org. I joined the steering committee of the Milwaukee Mental Health Task Force. I expect to graduate next spring with my Bachelor's Degree and I will be applying…See More

A Christmas Miracle
Our project is Empowering our American Veterans through Art workshop. We are positive you have touched many lives by serving our Country. Now it is our time to support and “Thank you.” After fighting for our freedom, Veterans come home and are suffering PTSD. These workshops help them work through their trauma.
To date, we have raised 13% of our goal. We have partnered with the GlobalGiving Foundation to participate in its Open Challenge, a fundraising opportunity for nonprofit organizations working around the world.
In order to succeed in GlobalGiving’s Open Challenge, the Charles Allis Art Museum must raise $4,000 from 50 donors by December 22, 2010.
Please help us reach the threshold of $4,000 from 50 donors! Be one of the first people to make a donation at http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/empowering-our-american-veterans-through-art/ Not only will your donation help the Veterans Art program at the Charles Allis but, it will help us take advantage of a long-term fundraising opportunity!
Warm Regards,
Patty Redeker

David M Ryba said… - Thanks Kenyatta, Walt, David, and everyone at Dryhootch for your concerns and wonderful wishes in regards to my recent health event. On April 5, 2010 at 07:00 I had a transient ischemic attack (TIA). A (TIA) is an episode in which a person has stroke -like symptoms for less than 24 hours, usually less than 1-2 hours.
The good news is, unlike a stroke, an episode of TIA is brief and recovery is complete. In my case, a problem in the area of cholesterol seems to be the primary cause of the TIA event. My doctors have started me on a new regimen of medications, increasing the dosages and adding new ones. I hope the new formula of drugs I’m getting from the VA works better than what I was taking in the past. This one was pretty scary!
Thanks again to everyone at Dryhootch for your concern and support!

- Hi Kenyatta,
I'd like to attended the open house at the end of the month. It would be a great time to meet everyone and get some video footage for Veterans Newsline. I was wondering if it would be possible to help Laurie and I out with transportation to and from the event. We live just 30 miles to the south in Kenosha. If that's too far for you to come, I understand. I put the word out to my staff photographers earlier today, so maybe one of them will show up.
