Iraq Never Leaves Us

In this presentation, Bob Page shares his story to provide the viewer with an “up-close and personal” view of “What’s it like over there?” in the combat theater of Iraq via his personal photos. NOTE: This special feature is not a course, but instead a story of one veteran’s experiences.

Bob Page is a husband, father, veteran, and, in his civilian career in the television and broadcasting industry, an Emmy Award (4) and AP award winner. During his numerous Active Duty and Marine Reserve periods, Bob has served in several theaters including Beirut, Lebanon; Kuwait, Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield; and in the battles of An Nasiriya, Al Kut, and the liberation of Baghdad, Iraq.

Like many combatants, Bob must manage his PTSD and associated symptoms. Since 2004, Bob has been receiving counseling at a Vet Center and states, “I continue to work hard to heal so I can be the best husband, father and Sailor I can be.”

Hope4Heroes 10 STEPS

Here are the steps we suggest as a program of recovery and coping with PTSD

1. We admit we PTSD is real, we have it and, that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. We believe that a Power greater than ourselves and the support of mentors and advocates can restore us to sanity.

3. We made a decision to get off the couch, find solutions and work with fellow PTSD sufferers to get in the game of life.

4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves to find our inherit strengths.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, families and other and heroes the exact nature of our suffering without fear of ridicule.

6. We are entirely ready to share and support each other to reach our full potential as mentors, coachs and PTSD advocates. We never say no to a PTSD sufferer in need.

7. Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings, give us strength and help us help ourselves and others.

8. Continue to take personal inventory and when we have troubled days we promptly admit it not mask it.

9. We seek through prayer and meditation to improve our lives, deal with and overcome PTSD and find the blessings in living.

10. Having had a spiritual and intellectual awakening as the result of these steps, and carry this message to all with PTSD, and to practice these principles in all our daily affairs.
