get an email about a book written about a story during the Vietnam War. What is different about this book is it was written by someone who never served in the Vietnam War or the military. Dr. Reaves wrote about her father, U.S. Navy Corpsman Larry Goss who lost his life in the Vietnam War. She wanted to honor her father and the Marines he died protecting. This book does exactly that, and I would encourage you to read it. This Memorial Day, take some time to understand the true cost of freedom by what is lost protecting what we have. You can get “Kiss Lori for Me” on Amazon. Or go to https://www.kissloriforme.com/ to learn more. Thank you Dr. Reaves for this labor of love.

Gina Alderman has come on Oscar Mike Radio as an author. She wrote in Veterans Unchained Anthology and put together Veterans Unchained 2.0.
This time she is talking with me about her Rugged Warrior Healing Coalition Retreat. Gina talked about how the retreat went from an idea to reality. One of the interesting parts of the conversation is how other female Veterans came together to work with her as co-facilitators in their area of expertise. Instead of listening to class lectures, female Veterans will leave the retreat with something that they have made and experienced. It is Gina’s hope that these experiences will allow other female Veterans to connect and grow. The Crystal Blue Lagoon is a perfect setting for these female Veterans to come together and renew themselves emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
On behalf of Gina Alderman, and the co-facilitators who are all Veterans, we would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Lynn who provided Crystal Blue Lagoon Bed and Breakfast as the site for the retreat.

“I have never done anything like this on Oscar Mike Radio.” This thought was going through my mind as I started talking with U.S. Army Veteran Inez Moutarde. Except we weren’t talking, we were breathing, but not just any kind of breathing. We were doing Quantum Flow, and at the Rugged Warrior Healing Coalition Retreat, Inez was going to be teaching this to the attendees.
Quantum Flow is a practice to recharge your “energy” and by doing so use energy to do amazing things. This is done by a special breathing technique that helps one align their energy with their outlook. It was interesting to learn how Inez, who was a Civil Affairs Specialist in the Army, used Quantum Flow to change her life. As a teacher of the practice, she is looking to show the women who attend the Rugged Warrior Healing Coalition Retreat that they can harness their own energy to change their lives. I certainly came away with an appreciation for the practice during the show. It will be amazing to see how Inez’s session helps other female Veterans.

Anthologies, Gina Alderman asked Stephanie to lead a jewelry-making session. Making jewelry has helped Stephanie heal from past trauma.
Stephanie served in the Army Reserves. She separated due to MST (Military Sexual Trauma) and after separation found that working with her hands creating beauty helped her deal with the past. As well as making jewelry, Stephanie is currently studying to become an ordained minister. She hopes to use her ministry as an outreach to other women who have survived sexual trauma.
You can connect with Stephanie through the Veterans Unchained Anthology and LinkedIn. See the links below. Thank you for talking with me!

One part of the retreat that Gina Alderman wanted to focus on is the mind and body working together. To do that, Gina connected with Juanita Terry who participated in the “Veterans” Unchained Anthology. The anthology is how Gina and Juanita got connected, and their friendship grew.
Juanita served in the Army working in aviation and then military police. After getting out of the military, Juanita found a sense of peace and purpose in doing martial arts. She began to study under Sensei Ken Wentz. He is a seventh-degree Black Belt, with almost 50 years of Martial Arts experience.
Juanita will be teaching about situational awareness and how to have a security mindset at the retreat.
