VETERANS DAY

grateful after deployment Rice native served in Afghanistan with Minnesota Army National Guard

BY ELLARRY PRENTICE STAFF WRITER

At the age of 17, Madison Jennings raised her hand to serve her country. Two years later, she boarded a plane for Afghanistan.

Jennings, who grew up in Rice, is a member of the Minnesota Army National Guard.

She joined the military in 2018 with written consent from her parents, Mark Jennings and Missy Jennings.

“I was a small-town girl wanting to get out and explore,” said Jennings, a 2019 graduate of Sauk Rapids-Rice High School.

Both of Jennings’ greatgrandfathers served in Army during WWII. Her dad is from England, so her paternal greatgrandfather was a member of Great Britain’s Army.

Deciding to follow in their footsteps, Jennings chose the Army National Guard.

“It sounded like a challenge,” she said. “I love giving myself a challenge and accomplishing it.”

Jennings attended basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, the summer before her senior year of high school.

After graduating from high school, she completed several more weeks of military training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, as a 13B Cannon Crewmember.

Cannon crewmembers work cannons that support infantry and tank units during combat.

Her job duties included communicating over wire and radio, identifying target locations, participating in reconnaissance operations, and PHOTO operating self-propelled SUBMITTED cannons, ammunition Madison Jennings smiles alongside trucks and other vehia K-9 at her military cles. base in Afghanistan.

“We shot down incoming events … protected the airstrip, the whole base,” Jennings said.

Her extensive military training gave her peace of mind in times when fear may have otherwise got the best of her.

“I felt really safe because I know the weapon system like the back of my hand,” Jennings said. “You get in a mindset and at that moment you’re

just so stuck in your mission.

You just handle it, and you carry on with your day.”

Jennings was one of only two women deployed with her unit. The experience fostered personal growth.

“It gave me more courage to speak up,” Jennings said of gaining resilience as a female minority. “It gave me strength within myself.”

A veteran caregiver, lifelong advocate Phil Ringstrom tells of three decades working for Veterans Affairs centers

VETERANS DAY

SAUK RAPIDS – Phil Ringstrom believes every day should be Veterans Day. The Sartell resident has dedicated his life to helping veterans including those struggling with mental health issues and readjusting to life after war.

For 30 years, Ringstrom worked for Veterans Affairs hospitals, including 18 years in St. Cloud. Now retired, he continues to advocate for veterans plighted by war.

The military has been a part of Ringstrom’s life since birth.

“My whole life I’ve been surrounded by veterans,” he said.

A native of Devil’s

VETERANS DAY with honor and respect, Dombrovski Meats would like to thank you for your service!

Thanks Dad, for your service.

Lake, North Dakota, Ringstrom grew up h e a r ing stories from his dad, who served in World War II, and his brothers along with other relatives and friends.

Though he was not stationed in Vietnam, Ringstrom witnessed the pain and suffering caused by the war while serving as a naval hospital corpsman at Corpus Christi during that era.

“Too many veterans of war carry that weight,” said Ringstrom, who earned a four-year nursing degree.

In 1980, Ringstrom began working as a registered nurse at the St. Cloud Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

That year, the American Psychiatric Association officially accepted the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder, though Ringstrom had been observing many of the symptoms – from flashbacks and anxiety to irritability and social isolation – in veterans for many years before a name was attached to it.

During his time at the St. Cloud VA, Ringstrom was instrumental in the development of a readjustment counseling service. The pilot program bridged two worlds by helping veterans readjust to civilian life after war.

Working with veterans, including those from the rural area and who served in the Gulf

Phil Ringstrom War, is where Ringstrom found a niche that met his passion.

Known more informally as veteran centers, the readjustment counseling service has become a vital lifeline for veterans and their families, Ringstrom said.

The walk-in centers allow war veterans to meet with fellow veterans serving as peers and licensed counselors.

Veteran centers offer a unique approach to helping veterans, according to Ringstrom Readjustment takes time and it is acknowledged as a normal process, he said.

The veterans they serve need not feel shame because war is not a natural or normal experience.

“Coming home, dealing with the trauma of the past and finding peace is not always easy,” Ringstrom wrote

“That’s what we can’t forget – the willingness of those who served.”

– Phil Ringstrom

in a May 2021 editorial.

“Vet Centers assist in preventing maladjustment behaviors such as addiction, family stress, dysfunction, divorce or – tragically – suicide rates far higher than among non-veterans.”

Veteran centers, Ringstrom added, demonstrate that there is a better way than simply placing veterans in a deary institution, which can exacerbate symptoms like depression and depersonalization. In the past, he noted, many veterans did not seek help from the Veterans Administration for fear of being misdiagnosed or being accused of exaggerating their illness.

Following nearly two decades at the St. Cloud VA, Ringstrom remained committed to helping veterans plighted by war. He also worked for veterans hospitals in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Duluth, as well Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland.

Over the years, his positions included staff nurse, admission nurse, charge nurse in a psychiatric unit, nurse manager, staff assistant for clinical affairs (at the St. Cloud Veterans Affairs Medical Center) and team leader-director of veteran centers (in South Dakota and Duluth).

VETERANS DAY

Ringstrom from page 10V Treatment methodologies at veteran hospitals and centers must be flexible, adaptive and unique – not based on community standards.

Ringstrom observed a lot of suffering – physically, mentally and emotionally – while working directly with veterans, but he is grateful for his career and the opportunities to make a difference in the lives of countless heroes.

“I was committed to helping them,” he said.

It is also important to Ringstrom that veterans’ families are supported.

Deployments and wounds sustained in active duty affect the whole family.

Their readjustment is just as hard, or even more dif cult, for family members.

He retired in 2008 but stays active in social causes as a veterans advocate.

He spends much of his time advocating for more veteran centers in underserved regions, including central Minnesota, for veteran therapy programs, and for other changes that will allow veterans to be better served. He has even traveled to Washington D.C. to lobby for American veterans.

Ringstrom remains loyal to the agency that launched his career dedicated to veterans. t “I don’t think we can nd ner people,” he said of the people who twork at Veterans Affairs medical centers, including his daughter. “The staff is so proud to be working with veterans –and they see their mission as critical.

, a a h

I just hope we can continue to grow.

We can never think we have it gured out.”

Ringstrom has witnessed a signi cant improvement in mental health care for veterans over the years but said staff must continue learning and adapting to meet the plethora of needs.

Listening to veterans is key, Ringstrom said. Treatment methodologies at veteran hospitals and centers must be exible, adaptive and unique – not based on community standards.

Ringstrom is active in veterans service organizations, including the American Legion in Sartell, and other veterans-related groups. The American Legion in Rice is one of the places he enjoys visiting with comrades.

This Veterans Day, Ringstrom looks forward to honoring men and women who raised their hand in a commitment not just to serve their country but to sacri ce their own life.

Their loyalty to our country and willingness to make that sacri ce is something he is thankful for 365 days a year.

“Veterans Day should be a day of celebration for their honor, service and commitment to their country,” Ringstrom said. “Every day should be Veterans Day. That’s what we can’t forget – the willingness of those who served.”
