Do you want to help homeless veterans?
Do you know someone who has or is serving our country in
the military? Can you imagine what you would think if they were
homeless? Most Americans would find the situation of homeless veterans to
be mentally and emotionally jarring.
If you feel like most Americans, the Sacramento Stand Down
needs your help.
For the past 22 years, approximately 350 homeless veterans
have received vital assistance at the Sacramento Stand Down on a three-day
weekend in mid-September.
A “stand down” is a historic military term for a place
behind the front lines of combat where an exhausted war fighter gets medical
attention, hot meals, and sleeps off the ground while temporarily recuperating
from the rigors of military conflict.
The Sacramento Stand Down is similar to the “stand downs”
in prior wars, this time with veterans receiving vital services while sheltered
from the hostilities of street.
We have a goal of finding up to 925 volunteers to operate
a three-day Stand Down. There are many different jobs during the year as
well as a wide variety of four-to-eight hour shifts on September 11 – 14
(Thursday – Sunday).
If you would like to help
us achieve our Vision: End Homelessness for Veterans in
Sacramento County, please go to our new website at standdownsacramento.org and
click on Registration Forms in blue ink on the
upper-right side of the page to select your choice of (1) an
electronic form which can be emailed out our inbox where it will be checked
daily, or (2) a .pdf form which you can print out for inputting your
information and mail it to our snail mail box (SSDA, PO Box
601536, Sacramento, CA 95860-1536). We will be in touch with you
about your job interests and time(s) you are able to serve.

The little boy had cerebral palsy, and the doctor told his parents that he would never walk.
But, in true American style,
they never gave up hope. While Staff Sgt. Jeremy Cooney was deployed,
his wife, Melissa, worked in secret to help little Michael walk on his
own. The look on the returning Marine’s face when his son walks without
assistance to meet him is absolutely priceless.
When the Army Refused to Commission this Woman, She Went and Earned the Medal of Honor Instead
Mary Edwards Walker with her Medal of Honor
This
story is as unique as they come. It involves a woman who was ahead of
her time in many ways, who offered herself in service of the nation
voluntarily during the Civil War and won the nation’s highest military
honor, the Medal of Honor. She is first and only woman to have been
awarded the Medal of Honor in our nation’s entire history.
From the Family Farm to the Front Lines
Her
name was Mary Edwards Walker. She was born in Oswego, New York on
November 26 1832. She was the youngest of five daughters and had a
younger brother. She was educated at the school her mother taught at and
later taught there herself to earn money to be able to attend medical
school at Syracuse Medical College. She married a fellow medical student
and upon graduation they set up a medical practice together in Rome,
NY. Because she was female and female doctors, at the time, were not
trusted or respected by the general population, their practice did not
flourish. Their marriage ended in divorce after thirteen years.
Portrait of Mary Edwards Walker wearing Medal of Honor
When
the Civil War broke out, Mary Edwards Walker went immediately to
Washington, D.C. and tried to get a military commission as a doctor in
the Union Army. She was denied, of course, because she was a woman. She
volunteered anyway and was given a position as an assistant surgeon as a
civilian contractor. Throughout her service, she was never paid, even
though she served on the front lines and in hospitals in some of the
wars most harrowing battles. She was at the battle of Chickamauga among
many others.
During
her time she also acted as a spy for the Union. While doing this, she
was captured by Confederate troops and was held as a prisoner of war for
the last four months of the Civil War. When the war ended she tried,
again, to get a military commission, but was again denied. But in
November of 1865, she was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Andrew
Johnson. The citation read, in part, “She devoted herself with much
patriotic zeal to the sick and wounded soldiers, both in the field and
hospitals, to the detriment of her own health. She has endured hardships
as a prisoner of war for four months in a Southern prison.” With this,
she became the first — and the last — woman ever to receive the Medal of
Honor. So far.
Sharon
Harris authored a book about Mary Edwards Walker entitled Dr. Mary
Walker: An American Radical, 1832-1919, in which she writes, “She wore
that medal every day of her life from the moment she received it to the
day she died.” But this story takes a turn in 1917, that Mary Walker
would meet with her usual, inimical confidence and toughness of nature.
A Force to Be Reckoned With
In
1917, over 50 years after she had been awarded the Medal of Honor, a
high ranking military board decided to change the criteria for that
medal. They changed the criteria so it would be awarded to only those
who had been in actual combat with the enemy. As a result, they
rescinded almost 1,000 of the medals, including hers. In accord with her
nature, she refused to send it back. As was said before, she wore it
until the day she died. Her award would be reinstated some 60 years
later in 1977 by an act of Congress.
Mary
Edwards Walker was a force to be reckoned with throughout her life.
After the Civil War she was involved with the Women’s Suffrage Movement
and Prohibition. She would die in 1919 at the age of 87.

When soldiers come together and support one another, the result is beautiful. Three soldiers in the British Army collaborated with two U.S. Soldiers in order to beautifully perform a song dedicated to troops around the world. The song ‘Coming Home’ is a message of support to all service members who are representing their country with pride.

Success
4 What’s Next is a company owned by veterans who are dedicated in
helping American’s veterans successfully transition into the civilian
sector.
We are different from
transitional programs offered by the military as we not only provide
information on gaining employment, we also help address the mindset
challenges military members have in the transition back into the
civilian world.
There is a certain
conditioning in behavior and mindset taught and enforced at boot comp
and service academies that’s necessary for the military culture.
However,
when the member separates from the service, there is a different
skillset that’s needed to operate successfully in the civilian sector.
As
veterans, we are highly valuable in the civilian sector; sometimes the
value is lost in the conversion from military to civilian.
Success 4 What’s Next closes a much needed gap in the mindset of going from military to civilian.
EARLY BIRD PRICING AVAILABLE UNTIL June 15th. $397, $467 starting June 16th.

The
biggest challenge for veterans is the same as millions of other people
around the world, transitioning from a domestic economy to a global
economy.
Education and military experience are no longer enough.
What’s the difference between you and the other 76,000 military members that leave the military each year?
In this new world, you need greater tools and a different set of personal skills to succeed.
People
remember small percentages of what they see and hear, but most of what
they experience. For the first time ever, these world renowned training
companies, international speakers and trainers are coming together to
conduct hands on training for military personnel, designed to help
distinguish you from your competition, increase your value and create a
step-by-step blueprint for future success in your personal and
professional life. This is an intense conference unlike anything you
have ever experienced. Spouses are welcomed and highly encouraged to
attend.
During this 5 day event,
you will dig deep inside to discover the career path you truly desire
and get a clear vision of the life you dreamed of.
