I attended a meeting for Rocky Mountain Veterans Alliance. They have only been in existence for about one year and is a compilation of Denver agencies and individuals wishing to provide support and services to soldiers and veterans in the Denver area.
During the course of the meeting introductions went around the table offereing a mixture of agencies and individuals offering veterans/soldiers. Included were counselors, real estate agents, funeral services, products marketing, etc. Most impressive was a presentation made about transcendental meditation for the condition of PTSD. Brought to light at this meeting was the work the David Lynch Foundation has provided in
researching this possibility.
Also, a video with a soldier citing his results is available on this link on youtube:
RMVA will have a charitable event to gather funds for the organizations of RMVA. This event will be in September around September 11, 2011. Although there are other such events occurring at this time this event should be well attended and mark the beginning of other such events for this organization.
RMVA is looking at being a non-profit entity but believe at this time that funds required to create such an entity would be better served with the current service support non-profit organzations now providing support
to soldiers/veterans in the Denver area.
I plan on attending the next meeting of RMVA and look forward to being a part of this worthy association.
