CHICAGO UNDER FIRE DR MATT HARRINGTON

Dr. Matt Harrington, a native of Oak Park Illinois. Currently CEO of Ammo Coding System and the Founder of Illinois non-profit, Lines 4 Lives, and former Assistant Treasurer for Chase Manhattan Bank head of operations at the CME. Member of the Chicago Exchange Floors, this well before receiving his doctorate in 2015 from Chicago Baptist Institute and his friend Dr. Willie Wilson.

This is where Matt`s story starts in 1992 while on vacation in Colorado with his friend and co-worker, Harrington for a week prior had a feeling that he needed to change his flight date to a day earlier. This was to become one of many others times that his inner voice proves to be fortuitist. While racing for some unknown reason to get to the hotel where they would stay only 1 night before continuing on to their final destination, Harrington had an uneasy feeling that he needed to rush to the

swimming pool. Upon his arrival at the poolside, he found a 4-year-old girl drowning.

Harrington leaped into action by pulling the young girl from the water and rendering CPR to bring this girl back to life.

This experience changed Harrington, and it became the basis for what would be a repeating force in his life.

For the next 20-plus years, Harrington has become known as a local hero, the Chicago Tribune wrote a feature story titled “Right Place, Right Time”, citing that if you are in trouble, and Matt Harrington is around, then you are in luck.

The article was written in 2005 showing the numerous times at which Harrington has come to the rescue of others without any thought for his own safety. Whether it was pulling people out of a burning building or from a burning SUV, jumping from a CTA ‘L’ car to an opposite train to provide CPR to a woman experiencing a heart attack, or fending off 4 young males who were attacking a defenseless man exiting a coffee shop, or administrating CPR to a young man who had fallen from a 3-stories porch until the Chicago paramedic arrival, Matt Harrington has aided others in need with his quick thinking and lifesaving selfless acts.

Matt Harrington also received a personal Thank You letter from then Chicago Mayor Richard M Daley in 2000 for his services to the community.

Let us not forget his efforts, along with the other activists that have been honored here, were one of the first’s to Step-up and called out 16-Shots and a Cover-Up. Starting with the 5-hour Christmas-eve shutdown of Michigan Avenue. Nor the historic shutdown, and march on Lake Shore Drive. But most recently we know Dr. Harrington for the past 5 years of work to have Ammunition serialized via the Passing of Illinois house bill 3 0 88. But now, Hope Is Alive! With help and aid of Rev. Jesse Jackson's Letter to President Biden.

Demanding the serialization of ammunitions, to be at the forefront of all new gun legislation. It’s fair to say that Dr. Matt Harrington has been a force of goodness, which, in his view, was guided by a Higher Power, to be a person that is there when the need is greatest.

THE CHINOOK CHICK LIZ MCCONAGHY

Liz McConaghy was the longest serving female crewman on the Royal Air Force Chinook Fleet spanning a 17 year career flying on the aircraft.

Originally from a small town in Co. Down Northern Ireland, she attended RAF Cranwell on her 19th birthday to begin her exciting career thereafter on Chinook Helicopters.

She was the youngest aircrew to deploy to Iraq aged just 21 and also the only female crewman on the Chinook wing for 4 years, so her story is completely unique.

Her career saw her amass 2 deployments to Iraq and 10 deployments to Helmand Afghanistan in support of Operation Herrick which gave her an insightful and very personal perspective on war.

Upon leaving the RAF in 2019 Liz slowly became unraveled after a series of traumatic events that compounded her PTSD. This led to her trying to end her life in Aug 2020.

She survived and went into the Veterans Mental Health care system to help her deal with her demons and finally lay the images she had seen on the battlefield to rest.

During this time she began writing poetry and subsequently an autobiography to help her get her thoughts out of her head.

Chinook Crew Chick was released in Sept 2022 and went to Amazon Bestseller within 3 weeks.

It is an honest and humorous account of her ‘best of times and worst of times’ and how her experiences flying on the Chinook have changed and molded her into the woman she has become.

From dodging bullets to saving soldiers and witnessing the brutality and loss of war she writes how she found herself bringing the battlefield home, despite her fighting days being over.

Liz’s story offers hope to those who have also found themselves in the darkest of places, and who are looking for the tools within themselves to begin to rebuild a pathway to a new life.

She is now an ambassador for mental health and specifically PTSD among Veterans.

Liz stands as an example that PTSD does not have to be your identity, it can simply be a chapter of your life that can be learned from and most importantly moved on from.
