December 7 1941, a sacred day for PTSD.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - This sermon is based upon two sources; Time Magazine has a major article on Dec. 5 2011 with the title 'Anxiety or more explicitly, the two faces of Anxiety'.

History of Agent Orange

(DA NANG Vietnam) - This video is from the documentary “The World According to Monsanto.” It gives us a history of Agent Orange used in the Vietnam War, as well as used on American fields for several years for agriculture use as a herbicide.
