Well this standoff is still ongoing according to the Afghan Interior Ministry there would be at least one attacker holed up in a nearby building thats under construction thats actually where they think the attack was started was 1st carried out the taliban have immediately denied any responsibility for this attack now who is left. Could be any one of the estimated 15 i dont operate in this country it could be i still because it has publicly said that it was against this deal between do us and the taliban or it could be even splinter groups from the taliban because there had been fighters and commanders who broke away from the main branch of the taliban stating exactly the reason being that agreement with the u.

So i got the ventures into roger shoals he served in the ring corps for 98995 so hes going to do my programs is better than really for him is his life back to living out of his truck for the last couple of years hes homeless in im sure to get him out of struck you know bad. So. He told me and we eat in the marine corps yes thats nice to. Can you. As a sergeant for quite a long time. If you look at his babble and oh no i love my serve and i came from a very broken broken home not much found the support. Thats a joining us is recurrent theres off good from there so learn how to be of marine nothing else in it you know right yesterday you every day you know is there is somebody on your side always. Does the private so many scholars call the speaker. My god the marines from my from the my wife left here after up and i didnt know what it was were going to get my life back on track as pretty much what i did from tunics stream flash back. And into the streams last i want to right back overseas are in the field in cannot get out of i mean the shares had a few run ins a few times the shall see on your 2nd mile program so its basically there are workarounds and come as health and his housing situation it was it was hard also for me your bags of a life i mean attempted suicide 3 times and i was homeless at one point when 1st came back for a 2nd roger situation. Being home was so out of the country that i thought this is the country gave up on this job saved me because i mean i know 40 percent of the ploys here are better and sell or better stands the veteran here and. It was just the perfect working place so many people arrive to success because he wants it now i mean yeah he said his hick ups is bumps in the road but hes at that point his life where hes 50 you know hes ready to he wants to relax i hope and just work him and enjoy the rest of his life so so. We got hope for today put it that way i met. This organization started in the seventys we were trying to create a place for returning Vietnam Veterans and it soon became apparent like everybody else they had a home they did the job they needed healthy relationships. So there so there was a need for to establish an agency an organization that was know it could bring together these resources but also create a place a safe secure place that they could come to talk about their experience to share that with other people have a similar experience. There seems to be a large percentage of veterans who do come out you know a little broken you know and for everybody really i mean its a life changing experience thats what boot camp is all about they take away your individual ism and they train all that stuff out of you see dont question orders theyre leaving you know in such a structured environment and then thrown into. You know life thats been going on for 4 years without them or longer you know and thats scary and intimidating and they dont know how to cope and thats why a lot of them turn drugs or turn to whatever it is they dont know how to fit in anymore i feel like the real problem is no out training that makes sense you know particularly with our military people now you know theyre being trained to such a high degree to go over and fight they go over there they do their job and then theyre out one day and why have you know how somebodys supposed to flip that switch it doesnt happen. Perhaps a look at bob dylan where the nails he be at how we could use about a i think. This will be our room. Has a good Program Next Week out of graduate but i got it and put it in pretty extension staying longer than that he lot more work on myself and im getting the help that i need here are some well im going to them that i can learn here because i did with every issue the tourist the beauty of it im going to present a ts need to see what you are. And what youre sure you hit 676800. When i was drafted they very wisely made medico for me because i dont think there was anything else in the army that i would have done i never saw another job that i could have done that i would have done. And wed get a ambushed and theyd be shoot maddest and stuff i would use my rifle to big noise just. To scare wall off but i didnt want her to. Mostly sit stand not men do defects p. T. S. D. And depression and dont want to be have your tongue about ass what i think its common to all of. This my son jack. To seek to be. Seen. Never play came form from. The oh. Im comes on dunn. Is right. And his. Life. Was known to lean on me and vote. I took care of a man where a truck rolled over the mountain and crushed him williams airworthy it was full of blood and i clawed it out with my hands and it just filled back. And then bubbles broke and there was nothing i could do he was dead. Oh untrue that. Tore me to pieces. Give. You the story. That. Her. Brother did love to see you know. The very. End in order to function in combat and you know this a rational response would be to get the hell there but we cannot be rational so we have to set aside our rational human response and then having cut all those feelings all off you know your sense to it because if you dont you just start screaming that one day and the middle of it and you wont stop i went out to a track in 2009 and we got bombed every thursday they went off and rock a lounge rock rock around some more around whatever happened one night one of those rounds hit 34. 00 guys and. I think one of them survived i really remember because kind of hurt my memory with math and everything turned forget about it but. We lost 33 guys 3 m. P. s. He talked about numbness and i got back i had no fear period i dont i was afraid of anything i want to do that in the middle of the night and i care trying to get some weed to you know to calm me down and held it none of this. Would use using and with the. Not having a hole that dime a big boy. I could have made it well if i use the unemployment because i got a plan for 2 years i would use it right instead of using it to suicide my my fears my you might my feelings very much. I could have went somewhere but i didnt i just explained it that ive been here almost 90 days now the 23rd of this month the 19th what ill be asking for an extension because i cant trust myself to go out there i go for the holidays i need to go through that go through the holiday here in the r. C. And. I just thank god for each one of my bets with regards to whether youre d an army Navy Coast Guard theyre not marines that ask you up all right here. When i actually came here and i mean yeah that person scary situation and the diversity here is you know we have straight we have gay we have transgender and im actually gay veteran and also came out with. My hiv status im a chubby positive and. You know that the acceptance from the group was very much overwhelming and. They opened up arms and you know they offered words of encouragement that was actually remarkable. And we become so rich that we could gain any. Career fair or love. In their day that is. That is true. You know every veteran out there is one of my brothers and sisters. I want to be there for him you know its all my my my vets all the time i said look you know im im not a social worker by nature. A room. It sounds harsh but by and large i dont really care about the average person out there. But i do this because i love my vets on. The. Planet. Earth. Oh wait you. Or the program is designed its a 30 bed Transitional Program for homeless vets and so yes they all had to been homeless and all that friends like you are going to their goal selfsufficient income so we help them apply for benefits we help them go back to school or get employment. Morning or you. Interventions difference to their needs are different and so were able to treat them to the root issues whether its addiction whether its mental health. Or youre either. Going to have red. Meat. So little that you think may be hung over. To them or if. You screw 5 through more and 5 miles in reserve i would get sleep in. Sydney i really just want to be from. The world of life for the marines. Just as you mix the society. So were learning how to just. Sort of maybe a relationship with your. Children its worth. Thats simpler it doesnt turn destructive. Like the morning to you and every morning. Sorry she wasnt your guy right now when he 1st came in here he was with me i thought he needed medication bag because you get out he would if he was having a real bad time and counselor was in session with somebody so i can get the cows are out of the office i thought roger was going to get his truck and leave. That you know yeah yeah well you had to leave for that i get it would be 2 weeks of 2 in 2 weeks and he was calm down it was amazing it was. Not going to swab the floor the navy guys should be getting. Their call swamis. The one thing id like to highlight not particularly with the new veterans coming into these programs is that it is a program so you dont run shelters you know this isnt a mission. Its a mans Supportive Housing program. Everybody takes turns doing chores and somebody has been living on the street for 15 years cleaning the kitchen might be totally alien experience for them but its something that they all have to do make it their own or to teach that. I dont know i dont know how to say but theres just i love this place you know how i wish everybody could experience this. This is my car even my wife lived in this car. Its not a good place to live but i guess it beats the street you know let me show you where i was living. It was basically. Sit like this and put the seat. Where is it right here all the way back and this is this is the position we slept in you know id have sleeping bag pulled up over me and my pillow behind my head but as you could see im not burgle or horizontal yeah. So i wasnt i mean you try to turn over and you just get more uncomfortable and thats where they all called him and you know you drink it off our car you just passed them out a way to when you wake up in the morning sore you know when you do you start your day all over again doing the same thing trinket so you wouldnt have to feel anything when you when you try had to crawl back in this thing and sleep in it the end i think happened in the mcdonalds parking lot and i stopped getting i try to use more drugs and they just wouldnt work and its like likes something outside of my. And i went to a Veterans Resource Center and things have just been going good sense and you know i completed i did everything i needed to do. To do the right thing you know to get help. And now this car is just a reminder of what im done with. Today like this so good. Im going to hang on to what i get. A leg and go. Sit in a freak. Field it will. Let me go to school each. Day hes going. To be there. But when its so. Easy to get big fish ill. Just. Have you see circumstances where you can say ive seen circumstances in which the client didnt want to be saved. Somebody will decide. When youre or ill call was much more important at that moment and then we just hope that we left enough of an impression that at some point theyll be ready for hope in the comeback we can. Never turn our back on a veteran and were not going to do it today hopefully someday theyll all come back. I have just had i am a veteran of 2 branches i did 6 years active duty many is the Summer Mission for mary went into the naval reserves that i completed i went into the Army National guard which i am still curt currently serving and. We have a total of 14 years now for the car they work and play with just sticks i have periods i where i have a Substance Abuse problem that i have about all that and get over it which was hard and now and again and the last time was a lot harder but at least i was able to. Bounce back from it all. And since then have been trying to find income to help kind of move forward and. Read and to really have the crossed over to it a precarious now. And give you a heads up on. Your whole thing is an compassed way of doing nothing but surviving that for people to go around to look for housing or to look for jobs it becomes much harder because youre more focused on where am i going to get my next meal. Or how am i going to get to these Free Services or how my going to do these 2 things. And then to think about where is our next hour. Can i do anything you look colas and your clothes are all the name stuff like that you cant better even if you want to change it. To a lot of great stuff that i dont think reagan. Like. Its a little platform where i stand. With my friends and couple other neighbors so to say. That this is our tank that group is a profit but im getting theres also a very ventilation to. Good ventilation and then theres them our friend vicki is well theyre cranking and they stay on here with us but this general you were saying right off of a freeway in the woods so welcome to woods.
