Welcome to the new Citizen Fourth Estate. We are entering “Operation Information.” Our mission is to provide a space for advocacy and dialogue with all Arizona veterans. I am a trained Veterans Service Officer, and published writer in the arena of Veterans Affairs. I served in Marine Corps, with the 7th Marines and Marine Air Wing with two stints in Vietnam. I am currently a Mentor for returning combat veterans at the Merritt Retreat Center in Payson, Arizona. I have extensive training in the care and transition to civilian life for returning combat veterans. Please join us in an ongoing dialogue with a Band of Brothers and Sisters.

Good to see you here, Mike!
Please be patient with us, we are working out some glitches with access. I will be posting again in a day or so.
Read a great piece by Paul Rieckhoff yesterday titled “Who Are You Calling Rambo?”
It’s a sad, sad thing when people casually think of or refer to veterans as crazy, and I’m glad to see Rieckhoff speak up on this subject.
