Everyone for Veterans

Honor Memorial Day!

Today we praise the men and women who sacrificed their lives in the name of our country.

We are forever grateful. We shall never forget.

This should inspire us to make their sacrifice meaningful.

One could say taking care of their fellow veterans who are struggling is meaningful.

Mission Accomplished!

University of Iowa dental student, Craig Kozeluh (Iowa City, IA) and Vietnam War Veteran, Jerry S. (Marion, IA.) We are so grateful to have the support of the Dean, college of dentistry, University of Iowa, Dr. David Johnsen, in honoring veterans who’ve returned from combat areas and needing dental care. What a great message for the dental students to learn about giving back to veterans who were in harms way for the country.

University of Iowa dental student, Craig Kozeluh, was happy to have the opportunity to give back to Vietnam War veteran and Purple Heart recipient, Jerry Schindler. Jerry deployed to Vietnam and was there https://mailchi.mp/16145129c5e5/our-january-newsletter-is-here-442897

for 2 years as an Advanced Medical Specialist and Flight Medic. He carried wounded soldiers, dealt with amputations and gunshot wounds including suturing, basically being the “doctor” in the field. He even delivered babies.

During a rescue mission by helicopter, they took a rocket to the side of their helicopter. His body armor took a 2 inch piece of metal and for his injuries was presented the Purple Heart while in his hospital bed in 1968. Returning stateside, he was “traumatized” and suffered from severe PTSD. He feels more blessed than some. He married within 2 weeks of returning, went to the University of Michigan and trained as a Respiratory Therapist. He worked in that field for about 7 years. Then, he got a Bachelors Degree in Theology and was in the Ministry for 25 years as an Assistant Pastor. Jerry retired in Jan 2017 to a very modest income and checks in with his psychologist when he hits some rough patches.

Jerry, we thank you for your service!

Mission Accomplished!

Iraq War Veteran Eribiel C. (Gardena, CA.) and Dr. Cheryl Goldasich (Torrance, CA.) Calling all dentists in California, especially SF/ Sacramento/San Jose areas: Our combat veterans are in need of your assistance!

Dr. Cheryl Goldasich heard about E4V and was happy to give back to Iraq War veteran, Eribiel. She gave her the gift of comprehensive dental care including a bridge for her front teeth and a beautiful smile!

Eribiel served in the army as a 88M Truck Driver and her job was to assist in getting everyone out of Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Returning stateside has been challenging due to back injuries and needing lots of treatment. She sometimes needs to use a walker. Her husband is her caregiver and also takes care of their 3 year old twins, while Eribiel’s mom helps with all of the cooking.

Eribiel is unemployed at this time and Rogelio had to change to working parttime to help Eribiel. https://mailchi.mp/16145129c5e5/our-january-newsletter-is-here-442897

In her own words, “It never occurred to me how hard it is for veterans to readjust back to society after being in combat areas. Through E4V, I have learned how real and challenging their struggles are. I also realize that there are many ways people can pitch in to help!

Volunteering at E4V has been quite an experience for me. I am still navigating my role (tech support, data specialist?) at E4V, but I really appreciate that Theresa and Jennifer are supportive, and are always open to new ideas and ways that contribute to the support of veterans and the organization.”

E4V is sooooooo appreciative of all that you do, Frances!
