One Soldier’s Story
Name/Age: Sean Davis, 35
Home: Portland, Oregon
Unit: Oregon National Guard
Served In Iraq: 2003-2004
His squad went on 35 combat missions by truck and helicopter in their first 30 days in Iraq.
Davis recalls the horrible smell of civilians burning in cars set afire by roadside bombs
and remembers a friend in full uniform in the barrack’s shower trying to wash the day’s
blood off. A roadside bomb hit Davis’ truck in June 2004. “There’s something in your brain
that’s going to be changed after picking up bits and pieces of your best friend.”
Healing the Hidden Wounds of War
Dear Friend:
Americans will never forget September 11, 2001, the day our world changed… the day
terrorists executed the deadliest attack ever on American soil. We all sat in horror
and disbelief as our sense of security was deeply shaken.
Thousands of servicemen and women answered the call of duty, each willing to pay the
ultimate sacrifice to keep our nation and her people safe. Now, thousands live every
day with the physical, spiritual, emotional, and psychological scars of battle. In fact,
one in four veterans who return home from combat suffers with the effects of
Post-Traumatic Stress and Combat Trauma… a tragedy with untold consequences.
Post-Traumatic Stress and Combat Trauma result when reactions to a traumatic or
life-threatening event continually recur… an environment soldiers often find themselves
in 24/7. Military men and women returning home from combat can feel like a stranger
in a strange land-disconnected from family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and even
God. For some, what follows are feelings of depression, guilt, fear, and hopelessness-all
symptoms of combat trauma. Left untreated, this can lead to a path of self-destructive
behavior.
Now we have the unique opportunity to make a small sacrifice for them. “Care & Counsel
for Combat Trauma” was designed as a tool to help those who suffer. Will you help us see
that this recovery program is integrated into every church in America? Together, we can
build Bridges to Healing. We are excited to be partnering together in one of the most
significant projects ever undertaken by either of our organizations. Our prayer is that
God will use this resource to impact the lives of our troops and their families.
We need to equip and train an army of those who understand and ‘Dare to Care!’
