Been a long time since I've posted a diary here.
The place is looking really, really good! For those of you who don't know or remember me, I was a pretty active member here from 2004-2008. With the energetic support of dKos' milfamilies, veterans and concerned civilian members, I embarked on what became a five year effort to raise awareness of and help returning troops coping with PTSD. [See pics.]
Busier than I'd ever been before in my life, I pumped all of my energies into what became a top-rated niche blog (recently retired) and a book called Moving a Nation to Care (reviewed here at Daily Kos by SusanG). I even testified in Washington, D.C., as a witness for the U.S. Congress' House Veterans Affairs Committee.
I kind of felt like Elle Woods in Legally Blonde 2, but without her pink panache.
Today, I'd like to introduce members of the Military Community to Richard H., an Air Force veteran and runner-on-a-mission that I've had the pleasure to get to know over at dailymile (an online community much like dKos, but focused on exercise not politics).
