We're working on something awesome! Stay tuned for updates.
Facebook showed me this "memory" from 4 years ago.
My
sentiment has NOT changed!
"I recently read about kids being
suspended from school for flying American flags, Thin Red Line flags, or
Thin Blue Line flags
on their trucks or displaying them to honor
their parents and other firefighters, police officers, and returning
veterans.
This got me thinking: when did it become offensive to
be proud of being an American or to honor these true heroes?
Why
do we elevate sports figures and celebrities to unrealistic heights,
giving them immense influence over what we think and believe?
Meanwhile, our returning veterans, often scarred and damaged from their
service, are left largely unnoticed.
Firefighters and police
officers put themselves in harm's way daily, responding to emergencies
without hesitation.
When did the general public become so
disconnected from the sacrifices of these true heroes?"
As a
Veteran and retired Medic/Firefighter who has struggled with PTSD for
over 30 years,
I want Design Creations to help ease some of the
struggles my fellow Veterans and First Responders face.
Drawing
from my own past challenges, training from doctors and therapists, and
interactions with the local
Maker and Gaming communities, I aim to
open the Design Creations Makerspace and Gaming Hub to
any
Veteran
or First Responder seeking a safe outlet to help overcome the invisible
wounds of our service and sacrifice.
As we build out our Makerspace
in the coming months, we welcome any Veteran, Active Duty service
member, or Active or Retired First Responder
- regardless of age, gender,
orientation, or service experience - to utilize our
facilities in their fight against PTSD.
Discover new, safe, and
healthy outlets to help manage PTSD symptoms, find camaraderie with
others, and face our struggles together
- because there is
strength in numbers!
You are NOT alone. You are NOT forgotten!
