Thank you for reading this issue of Liberty Life. Fall is approaching The Liberty Coast and is bringing its (slightly) cooler temperatures, or so we hope, to this sea son’s parade of military and Veteran reflections and events.
Speaking of parades, one of the best Veterans Day parades in the nation is in Downtown Jacksonville at 11:01 a.m., on Friday, November 11th. For all the details and to register to be in the parade, visit specialevents.coj.net
BREAKING NEWS: The Honoring our “Promise to Address Comprehensive Tox ics” (PACT) Act was signed into law. Meet its namesake and how the law significantly expands Veterans’ health care and benefits for toxic exposures, allows citizens to sue the government for damages from Camp Lejeune contaminated water exposure and more.
A very special Autumn 2022 event we are excited about is the return of the chest pound ing and ear pummeling thundering thrill of the Navy’s flight demonstration team, known worldwide as the Blue Angels.
Autumn’s days of reflection include the POW-MIA Remembrance Day ceremony at the Chapel of the High-Speed Pass (1030 a.m. Friday, Sept 16) (powmiamemorial.org) and the day of honor no one wants is Gold Star Mother’s and Family Day (Sunday, Sept 25).
Obtaining health care, identifying military benefits and navigating Veteran resources should not be ‘insider baseball.’ Meet Army Veteran Kristle Helmuth who is a peersupport concierge and super navigator of Veteran resources with United Way Northeast Florida’s Mission United initiative. We encourage you to experience the inspiring stories of Army Veterans Channing Moss and Rayland Heck. Both warriors endured astonishing challenges while in uniform and have evolved to change the lives of many in their journeys after the uniform. Speciality License Plates. Florida and Georgia offer a slew of specialty license plates honoring military and Veterans (myfloridaspecialtyplate.com and dor.ga.gov). Some are raising funds for the good of Veterans. For example, the ‘Florida Salutes Veterans’ plate supports domiciliary and nursing homes for Veterans and the Florida Veterans Founda tion’s Gadsden Flag license plate (HelpFLVets.Org) funds many programs including direct financial support to Veterans.
For an inspirational and festival-like indoor experience on the day set aside to honor all who have served in the U.S. military, the St Johns County Veterans Day celebration at St. Augustine’s Anastasia Baptist Church should be your target. This year’s event is a tribute to Global War on Terrorism Veterans. Info at RothfeldM@Gmail.Com.
Serving Veterans and honoring military service has emerged as the theme of this issue of Liberty Life. For example, Clay County has an all-hands on deck focus on tak ing care of its Veterans. We introduce you to David King, an Orange Park attorney who shares his decades of pro-military affinity and appreciation through acts of service.
David King, center, is awarded a plaque for his legal counsel by Rayland Heck, Operation Barnabas President (Right) with Kyle Rausch of Perfect Imperfections Woodworks, left, during the opening ceremony for Fort Grace I.
One can only fathom the number of people King has rescued and helped to turn their lives around. Well known and often recognized for his decades of servant service, King is a doer and at age 73, has no plan to stop serving others. “Why not?” “Money can’t buy the warm fuzzies that you get from helping people trying to overcome hardship,” King shared. Both of these incredible men, a present-day Barnabas, are boots-on-the-ground encouragers and action takers helping folks overcome while building positive relationships daily.

As anyone knows battling anything, change only takes place when we accept full respon sibility and heart shift. This is what happened on the night of March 14, 2017, when a few simple words became his epiphany and he threw away all his crutches for good.
Being a “Barnabas” and helping turn Veterans’ lives around in Clay County is what they are known for. Although walking different paths, one is a trauma and drug overcomer now pulling other Veterans up from despair, the other is an attorney providing free legal counsel to Veterans and the needy his entire career. They both are transforming lives in many positive ways.

Just as Barnabas is known as the encourager in the Bible (Acts 4:36), these men, former Army Ranger and sniper, retired Sergeant First Class Rayland Heck and David A. King, Esquire., exemplify the name by truly helping folks save themselves. For eight years after Heck lost his mom, dad and brother in a homicide, suicide tragedy, he struggled. “All I wanted to do was zone out,” explained Heck as to how he became more and more dependent on meds, alcohol and drugs.
Be A Barnabas Two Very Different Paths To Changing Lives
Now helping Student Veterans at FSCJ, Army Veteran Channing Moss (Courtsey of Channng and Lorena Moss)
It’s been a 16-year process learning how to readjust and overcome, as Moss says, “working on one muscle and one skill, at a time.” Today, Moss is working toward his Associates degree in business at Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) and intends to continue with his studies in the Supervision and Manage ment Bachelor’s program at FSCJ next year. Also, an administrative assistant in their work study program, Moss helps the academic counselors in FSCJ’s Military and Veterans Student Center (MVSC).
After Moss’s incident, the USAF simulated the event to train medical staff. (USAF)
Moss received intensive rehabilitation at Walter Reed, living at a Fisher House with his wife and two daughters. The Fisher House Foundation is a nonprofit that builds comfort homes where families of the wounded military and Veterans can live together free of charge, while receiving medical care.
A few months ago, the Student Veterans of America (SVA) FSCJ Chapter, part of a national network of on-campus chapters helping student Veterans, was revital ized and Moss was selected by MVSC Director Chris Johnson to lead the initia tive. “The purpose of SVA is to empower students, and provide mentorship and outreach services for Veterans,” said Johnson. “Channing was selected because of his devotion to selfless service; someone that I wouldn’t mind serving with.”
“Iwas determined to receive my purple heart standing up,” said Private First Class Channing Moss, a critically injured U.S. Army Veteran, as he explained an early goal that took more than a year to reach. It’s his journey as a real-life “rocket-man,” or how he miraculously survived a rocket propelled grenade that lodged in his torso during a surveillance mission in Lawra Afghanistan, and what it took to come back, Army Strong. Can you imagine? The grenade went crashing through the Humvee and through Moss’s pelvic bone with the ex plosive and detonator pole still attached, landing in his right thigh and abdomen above the hip. “The only reason I didn’t bleed out was because it struck in the eight-inch gap between two major arteries in my pelvis,” said Moss. Moss had joined the Army in June 2005, graduating from Fort Benning, and was a private first class when the trauma happened in March 2006 during the first phase of Operation Enduring Freedom. He was initially put into an induced coma and operated on at the nearest Afghan hospital, then flown to the main operating base in Afghanistan, then Germany, then Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, D.C., enduring a total of 28 surgeries within a year.

Then Private Channing Moss and his family. (Courtsey of Channng and Lorena Moss)
Veteran Now Serving Student Veterans at FSCJ
In 2007, Moss and family moved to Eisenhower Medical Center on Fort Gor don in Augusta, Georgia, to be closer to family. Here, his overseeing physician, Dr. Johnson, was another dedicated encourager for Moss. Moss was fixated on continually asking, “When will I ever be normal again?” and the doctor would always reply, “Nobody is normal.” “Those words stuck with me, along with the thought that you got to make life as normal as possible for yourself,” said Moss.
These progressive surgeries restructured his thigh, pelvic bone, intestines and abdomen. The initial surgery to remove the grenade made the textbooks as various plans for removal were explored, and there was a high risk that it could explode and kill those operating on him.
It took five years of tests to realize that with his body missing part of his in testines, he was not absorbing certain nutrients and was put on a strict vitamin regimen. His past dependence on opioids and anxiety medications were also contributing to difficulties in applying his studies. Four years of detoxing, through 2020, now in Jacksonville, FLorida, Moss also learned cognitive behav ior skills that helped him cope without chemicals.
Since this is a voluntary position, it’s also a way for Moss to help active and re tired military, especially aiding other wounded Vets. “To eventually get my head on straight, I had to have the perspective that I climbed out clean from the war,” said Moss. “Giving back to wounded Veterans is what ultimately saved me.”
For three years, Moss relearned daily activities - talking, eating, bathing, walk ing, teeth brushing - trying to build muscle strength in his ravaged body while in debilitating pain. He made a lot of head-way with the help of a team of rehab specialists, with Physical Therapist Cameo Atkins getting him back on his feet for the first time. “Cameo would push me saying, ‘You’ve got to stand up! Leave nothing in the gym.’”
Military Transition
As word got out about his highly unusual ordeal, Fisher House Manager, Mau rice Bourde, asked Moss to tell his story publicly in hopes of raising funds for the foundation. Once the Army Public Relations Office and the Army Times TV got ahold of it, it took off with Moss speaking on all the morning news shows, and for the Pentagon, FBI, Secret Service and other organizations. His popu larity earned Fisher House close to a million dollars while this humanitarian purpose helped heal Moss emotionally and mentally.

Still serving after their military service, Clay County Veterans are on a focused mission with renewed energy. The Veterans Council of Clay County is actively engaged in a purpose-driven strategic process to achieve their vision of Clay County being known for “taking care of its Veterans.”

Clay’s VA Community Clinic is in Middleburg, Fl.
To steer their vision, the council com pleted a Veterans Needs Assessment in 2020 which fueled the development of a recently released strategic plan. The needs assessment, sponsored by the council and led by Polvikoski, was conducted over many months and included a county-wide Veteran sur vey, a SWOT analysis and statistical research. The process identified major goals to vitalize Veteran resources and engage key stakeholders within the community, region and state.

Numerous other former military leaders and pro-military citizens are committed to supporting the Veteran population in Clay County.

Clay County Is All In For Its Vet erans. Clay County recently hired a second Veteran Service Officer (VSO). Army Veteran Cherie Korn has added her well-known Veteran advo cacy to the already energized Veteran champion and Army Veteran Keith Brandon. Together, they assist Veter ans in obtaining their earned benefits.
In addition to their purposeful vision, Clay’s Veterans Council is addressing some of the identified needs, like col laborating with community resources to schedule a mobile dental event for poverty-level Veterans in 2023 for tooth extraction and fillings. They have launched an updated website and are also re-energizing its meetings and membership engagement with Veteran organizations and pro-Veteran resi dents and businesses.
After her military career, Polvikoski immediately began volunteering, and then serving, on the county’s Veteran council, adding, “I met many Veterans and family members who, like me, had no idea how to access resources, or couldn’t identify if, or what, re sources existed in Clay.”
Third Largest Veteran Population.
The regional Veteran Service Offices are reporting a steady and significant uptick in relocated Veterans checking into their offices for services. Veterans Community Center. Clay’s Veterans Council is a council of repre sentatives from the county’s many Vet eran-supporting organizations. Based on the needs assessment and led by council president and retired Marine Ansil Lewis, their revised vision is clear, “The Council is unified in working, with support from Clay County leadership, to provide a centralized location for Veter ans, families, and caregivers to increase knowledge regarding Veterans’ ben efits and connection with community resources and information. A Veterans Community Center for Clay County can be the catalyst to achieve that and promote further camaraderie across our robust Veteran community”
Tramika Chatfield, also an Army Vet eran, serves as the community liaison and connects Clay’s Veterans with community-based resources. To make it even more convenient for Clay’s Veterans, the Veterans Service Office relocated in July to the same complex as the new Middleburg VA Medical Clinic and the Florida Depart ment of Veterans Affairs Claims Office. This hub complex of Veteran resources in Clay is located at 400 College Dr.
“You have to go to Duval for that . seemed to be the answer to every ques tion about Veteran resources in Clay County,” said Jesica Polvikoski, who retired to Clay County in 2019 after 32 years in the Florida National Guard.
While the Department of Veterans Af fairs (VA) anticipates the percentage of the U.S. population with military service experience will continue to de cline over the next couple of decades, Clay, like several counties across The Liberty Coast, are experiencing a surge of Veterans and their families. A 2020 Stacker.Com study found that approximately 18 percent of Clay County’s 205,294 residents previously served in the nation’s military, making Clay the county with the third highest percent of residents that are Veterans of all 67 Florida counties. The Clay County Veteran Services website states that “more than 40,000 Veter ans” call Clay home. Locally, the region’s nine military bases have steadily expanded in mission and personnel. Many Clay County residents serve and work on those installations and then choose to live within the county after their military service. Additionally, the COVID pandemic population surge to the region con tinues. When Florida gained over 210,000 new residents between July 2020 and 2021, included among them are Veterans and their families.

With an elbow-to-elbow packed room of 300 and others hoping for a seat to open, the once again, sold-out Clay County Chamber of Commerce’s Military Apprecia tion Luncheon is about to begin. Business owners, like Carol Berg with Orange Park Florists, are getting to know the military Servicemembers sitting at her table. Local officials, business leaders and county residents meet and greet with the invited Servicemembers and Veteran guests, all squeezing by each other in the very crowded room to find their valued seat, any seat. The color guard is calculating just how much to dip their flags to pass under the thresholds of the conference roomAmongstdoors. the social commotion and people wiggling throughout the crowd ed room is a calm and collected, yet focused gentleman. His walk is choreo graphic-like as he escorts World War II Veterans to their special table, steers military commanders and VIPs to the head tables, queues the caterer with a “time to go” hand signal and then points out a last-minute available seat, rescu ing the volunteer at the registration table.
During his remarks at the 2022 event, King proposed that the services and sacrifices by Servicemembers and the families supporting their Servicemembers were the reason the crowd could attend the event. Reflecting on his father ’s service during WWII and those deployed today, King said, “That deployed war rior knows that back home they are loved, they are missed and their return is anxiously awaited,” King said. Well known and often recognized for his decades of servant service, David A. King is a doer and at age 73, has no plan to stop serving others. This includes providing free legal services to area Veteran-serving organizations, like Opera tion Barnabas, handling bankruptcies pro bono for Veterans and those in need as well as representing charities and others. When asked why he spends the majority of his “free” time volunteering, he only says, “Why not?” “Money can’t buy the warm fuzzies that you get from helping people trying to overcome hardship.”
Since chairing the original events in 1987 and 1988, Orange Park attorney David A. King has been in the center of planning and executing Clay cham ber’s annual salute to military Servicemembers and Veterans. Growing from a meeting room with 75 tickets sold to this year’s event with 300 attendees, 12 - 15 military Servicemembers from bases all across The Liberty Coast will be individually honored. King is an attorney whose business has been a fixture on Kingsley Avenue since 1986, after relocating here from his hometown of Dayton, Ohio. Realizing what a huge military presence there is in Clay County, King brainstormed ways to honor those actively serving and Veterans living in the county, explaining, “They contribute so much to our quality of life in Clay County.”

One Citizen’s Mission Of Sharing Appreciation For Military Service. by Christina Swanson and Joe Snowberger
Aiko’s favorite thing to do out side of work was to run freely and mark up every bush, tree, or fire hydrant that he could find. Even at eight years old, he had the energy and playful ness of a young puppy. He enjoyed tussling around with his handler or playing fetch in a big open field with lots of room to run around. MWD Aiko was loved and respected by every one he came in contact with and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

SAT/SUN, OCT 22/23 GATES OPEN 9AM • AIR SHOW 11AM BLUE ANGELS 3PM • KIDS ZONE FREE PARKING • FREE NASJAXAIRSHOW.COMADMISSION
By Joe Snowberger, Retired Navy Mustang
Since 1946, many thousands of residents of The Liberty Coast have shared the very same visceral experience Christopher P. Canvas described in the Military Officer magazine. In fact, the Navy re ports that over 500 million people have witnessed the power and grace of the various Blue Angels aircraft during their 76 year run. THEY’RE BACK. The excitement, precision, and power of naval aviation will thunder over The Liberty Coast in October as the Blue Angels return to their birthplace at the NAS JAX Air Show.In1946, Chief of Naval Operations Chester Nimitz established the Navy’s Blue Angels flight demon stration with a big goal in mind: to put on a good show. The very first team debuted in June 1946 in Jacksonville, Florida. Today, 76 years later, the Blue Angels continue to keep up a busy schedule, performing at air shows across the country throughout the year. It has been a while, a very long while, since The Liberty Coast was treated by the lightning fast fly-bys and break neck tricks of the Navy’s flight demonstration team.
That all ends as the NAS JAX Air Show is Saturday, October 22nd and Sunday, October 23rd. 2022. Then the tradition of spending the day witnessing thrilling military and civilian aviation demonstrations, check ing out the static aircraft displays and meeting active military Servicemembers and Veterans alike returns to The Liberty Coast.
Each day’s climax and the grand finale of the airshow is the Navy’s flight demonstration team: The Blue Angels. As always, this event is free to attend and park. We look forward to seeing you at The NAS Jax Air Show, Birthplace of the Blue Angels.
“They are the stars of every air show. Thousands of heads pivot to follow them high in the sky as they break into a symmetrical split. Eyes squint as the aircraft all but disappear, then widen as the dots plunge directly toward the earth. Ears are pummeled as the planes get louder and closer, and the noise builds to a huge cre scendo as mighty engines come ever nearer. Then the ground shakes and chests pound as gleaming blue jets rush low in full view of the crowd, their afterburning engines glowing hot to muster full military power as they pass and climb again. That visceral experience is the heart of the Navy’s flight demonstration team, known worldwide as the Blue Angels. It’s an excitement that transcends military and civilian, young and old, north, south, and anywhere else.”

First Woman Pilot. Marine Corps Captain Katie Higgins was the very first woman pilot in the Blue Angel squadron’s 69-year history. In 2020, Hig gins, a combat fighter pilot, flew the Lockheed C-130 Hercules for the Blue Angels, a beast of a turboprop military transport aircraft that they call “Fat Albert.”

The new Super Hornets are not the only “new” aircraft the Blues added since we last saw them. ‘Fat Albert’ is the Blue Angels official chaperone and cargo carrier that flies everywhere the team flies, carrying maintainers, spare parts, luggage, and other items as the Blues travel across America during airshow season.
Fat Albert has been a favorite of the Blue Angels for decades. The large, slow, lumbering transport plane traditionally kicks-off every Blue Angels performance with a flyby and maneuvers of its own.
An ex-Royal Air Force C-130J Super Hercules replaced the older model C-130 last year. With dual British and American citizenship, Fat Albert was originally built in the United States and then served with the Royal Air Force (RAF).
The big news from the Blue Angels is that Naval Aviator Lieutenant Amanda Lee, call sign “Stalin,” will be the first female formation demonstration jet pilot for the Blue Angels. Lee will join the Blue Angels for its 2023 show season. Having enlisted in the Navy in 2007, Lee worked as an aviation electronics technician before participating in the Seaman-To-Admiral commis sioning program. She was com missioned in 2013. There are currently three female naval officers on the 2022 Blue Angel team that will perform in Jacksonville this year.
The Navy’s Blue Angel Flight demonstration team has made a few changes since they last entertained and thrilled us on The Liberty Coast. Here is an update. Did You Know? After 34 years the Blue Angels transitioned from the legacy F/A-18 Hornet to the F/A-18E & F Super Hornets in 2021. The “new” F/A-18 Super Hornet Blue Angels were converted from fleet aircraft into airshow stars at the Boeing Defense facility at the former Cecil Field, now Cecil Airport and Spaceport in Jacksonville.

I also spend a lot of time volunteering in various capacities, whether it’s in my kids’ schools, acting as a peer mentor for local widows, or other Veteran-related activities.
Through the care coordination approach, and sometimes in a single call, the Veteran may now be connected with a Veteran Service Officer (VSO) to help them file a compensation claim, be in contact with an employment agency’s Veteran issues specialist to help them obtain sustainable employment, have an appointment with a mental health professional, or know where a local backpack/ school supply giveaway is to ease the burden of the costs associated with back to school. Oh, we may even be able to arrange a ride.
LL: Thanks for speaking with us. So who is Kristle Helmuth?
LL: This is much more than a job for you, what drives this passion to assist Veterans? For me, it is personal. Looking back, there were several times in my life where I would have benefitted from having a Mission United-like Veteran Care Coordinator to help me navigate my transitions. Whether it was my own transition from the military, or during my time as a caregiver to my husband, or even navigating the days after his death. If I had one person I could have counted on to help me navigate all the services avail able to me, those times would have been less stressful. I want to lift some of that burden off of those we serve, and be that person for them. Aside from all of that, I am teaching my children to be of service to others, and to live a life worthy of the sacrifice made by those who gave their all for us. Who ya gonna call? Are you or do you know a military Servicemember, Veteran, or their family in need of assistance or identifying assistance? Call the United Way 211 Helpline (dial 2-1-1 or text “Hello” to 211904) to access Mission United or visit UnitedWayNEFL.Org/Our-Work/Mission-United.
Kristle Helmuth is an Army Veteran and surviving Veteran spouse. She is a Veteran Care Coordinator with the United Way of Northeast Florida’s Mission United initiative. Intrigued by the program’s concept and having read some of the life-changing stories, Liberty Life thought we would get to know her and Mission United.
First we take the time to get to know each person and build a Veteran-peer rap port of trust. As each Veteran and their situation is unique, we then assess their individual situation. They may be calling seeking assistance in paying their electric bill or locating a food pantry. By the end of the conversation, I may have uncovered the underlying issues that prompted the original reason to call.
It is our job to learn about and know the various resources and, just as impor tant, know the people at the agencies, the nuances of the services, eligibility requirements and intake process. Then we look to establish a direct and warm hand-off for the Veteran to the matching services. Imagine the frustration of calling, or taking the bus for hours just to find out you don’t qualify for their Weprograms.alsoassist other VSOs and agencies in identifying resources for their Vet eran clients and patients. That’s what I do! I am glad you asked.
Mission United’s Veteran Care Coordinator and Army Veteran Kristle Helmuth
By dialing the United Way 211 information and referral helpline, a Veteran, Ser vice member or family member can be connected to one of the Mission United’s Veteran Care Coordinators, like me.
LL: What does a Mission United - Veteran Care Coordinator do? Through the United Way’s initiative, I get to assist Veterans, Servicemembers, and their families who are facing challenges that are affecting their quality of life and help them to successful outcomes; how cool is that?
LL: What “did you do” in the Army and where did your military service take you? I was a Military Policeman in the Army. I joined to get as far away from home, (Colorado) as humanly possible. As my luck would have it, after my training at Fort Leonard Wood I got stationed all the way over in Kansas.
Veteran Services Spotlight Changing Veterans’ Lives Through Care Cordination
While there are quite literally hundreds of Veteran and community services to support the approximately 175,000 Veterans in Northeast Florida, it can be difficult to navigate needed services under the best of circumstances. Imagine dealing with a stressful challenge or feeling a bit desperate - I’ve been there, done That’sthat.where we come in. As a Mission United Veteran Care Coordinator, I am a peer support concierge that leverages all the connections to Veteran services and community resources United Way has, to specifically assist Veterans and their Ifamilies.compare it to how a hotel concierge can assist guests by making reserva tions, obtaining tickets or by simply pointing them in the right direction. Like a concierge, I assist Veterans in need by matching and directly connecting them to services and resources best able to help them achieve positive outcomes.
Meet Kristle Helmuth Interview by Griffin Maier
I am currently raising two teenagers, a toddler, six turkeys, six chickens, a pig, a dog and a tortoise. If that doesn’t tell you all you need to know about me, I don’t know what does. Kidding, sort of. If that wasn’t enough, I decided last year that I wanted to continue my educa tion and completed my master’s in business administration. When I am not working, I can be found somewhere outside, probably camping, boating, or four-wheeling.

The Sergeant First Class (SFC) Heath Robinson “Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics” (PACT) Act was recently signed into law.
The PACT Act (VA.Gov/PACT) will:
• Make generations of Veterans eligible for VA health care, while increasing care for many more;
Namesake.
• Significantly increase VA research on toxic exposure;
After a three year battle with lung cancer, 39 year old SFC Heath died in May, 2020, believing his illness was caused by his exposure to the burn pits. His wid ow’s reflections are a must read, search WarFighter2021.Com/Elementor-601/ More Than Burn Pit Exposure. One of the key factors that made the PACT Act a once-in-a-generation effort was the broad period range from Vietnam through Iraq and Afghanistan.
Act Expands Veterans’ Health Care and Benefits For Toxic Exposures
Complied from Veteran Service Organization reportings
Military pilots and naval aviators are encouraged that the increase in VA sci entific capacity will be brought to bear on what is behind the spike in cancers among military aviators.
The PACT Act is named for Heath Robinson, a former sergeant first class and “NCO of the Year” in the Ohio Army National Guard. During his 13-month deployment to Iraq, SFC Heath’s guard duty placed him within 10-15 yards from the edge of a burn pit every day for 3 months.
The PACT Act also contains important additives for sea-going Veterans exposed to Agent Orange, and Veterans who had low radiation exposures while perform ing site cleanups in several places in the 1970s. There is also added time to submit claims for conditions associated with their service in and over Iraq and surrounding countries.
• Ensure that every enrolled Veteran receives an initial toxic exposure screen ing at VA and follow-up screening at least every five years;
Camp Lejeune. With the Camp Lejeune Justice Act included in the new law, those exposed to contaminated water at the Marine Corps Base are able to file lawsuits for damages and injuries. Scan the QRC for information. Got A VSO Or An Attorney? The hard part now may be in the details of how the law is implemented and how soon the benefits are available to eligible Veterans. Veteran Ser vice Officers (VSO) and attorneys all across The Liberty Coast are huddling to digest the new law to address claim procedures.

The PACT Act namesake: SFC Heath Robonson with wife Danielle and daughter Brielle. (Image: Facebook) In the summer of 2002, following 18 months of Officer Candidate School (OCS), Second Lieutenant Jason Hunt accepted his commission as an Army officer in the Florida National Guard (FNG). The ceremony, held in the com mand auditorium at Camp Blanding Joint Training Command, was a significant military-career milestone for this Soldier. Hunt had already experienced the milestone of graduating from Army basic training nearly seven years earlier at Fort Leonar dwood in Missouri. Then he experienced the achievement of graduating from Army Medic school at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, ThroughoutTexas.Hunt’s Army career, the mile stones have piled up as an Infantry Platoon Leader, Cavalry Troop Commander, Cavalry Squadron Commander and Security Forces Assistance Brigade Squadron Commander.
Fast forward to the summer of 2022 Now, Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Hunt, experienced yet another incredible Army career milestone when he became the 22nd commander of Camp Blanding Joint Training Command - in the very same auditorium in which he was commissioned 20 years ago.
“I joined the Army after high school wanting to do something bigger than me,” said Hunt in response to why he joined. He added, “I fell in love with the Army’s culture of so many diverse people coming together and doing what we do. I just love the culture.”
The Hunt’s are an Army family, as the garrison’s new commander’s wife, Jennifer, is also a prior enlisted, now Lieutenant Colonel in the Florida Army National Guard. She was also an Army medic and she, too, received her Army officer’s commission through OCS, graduating in the very next class after TogetherJason.the Hunt’s, and their son Parker, are avid travelers and enjoy hiking across the U.S. and Europe. Jason and Parker are also avid off-shore fisher men. That is when they can get away and drive their 23-foot Sportsman boat the 52 miles off-shore to fish a few favorite spots near the continental shelf.
“The PACT Act is a historic new law that will help VA deliver for millions of Veterans — and their survivors — by empowering us to presumptively provide care and benefits to Vets suffering from more than 20 toxic exposure-related conditions,” said VA Secretary Denis McDonough. “It will also bring genera tions of Veterans into VA health care, which will improve Veteran health out comes across the board.”

Florida First – Right, Ready & Relevant!” In his remarks as the presid ing officer during the assumption of command event, Major General Haas, FNG’s Assistant Adjutant General, shared, “I’ve had the great honor of knowing and soldiering with LTC Hunt for almost 20-years and know well his many accomplishments and capabilities. Jason’s combined deployment experience, strategic expertise and keen intellect afford him a uniquely blended perspective combining a tactical Warrior’s mindset with a strategic leader’s vision.”
Hunt enlisted in the Army in 1994 and has had a distinguished career ever since. He served as an Army medic, received a commission and was awarded the Bronze Star, the Meritorious Service Medal, three Army Commendation Medals and others.

• Solidify VA’s new, expedited process for establishing presumptions of ser vice connection for toxic exposure-related conditions.
“It was surreal to me when I made the connection just days before the as sumption of command ceremony,” said Hunt, adding, “... on the very same floor, 20 years later.”

NEXT-GEN MILITARY RETIREE & FAMILY ID CARDS AVAILABLE New Three-Digit Number Is Easier To Remember, Save More Lives. In a mental health or life crisis? Want help? It is now much easier to call for that help. Dial 9-8-8. Military Servicemember or Veterans will be prompted to “press 1” to be immediately connected with Veteran peers at the Veterans Crisis Line. The original, often un-memorizable, number for the Veterans Crisis Line, 1-800-273-8255, followed by pressing 1, will remain ac tive for some time. The text line remains: 838255 New cards now work at TSA Checkpoints. Military retirees and military fam ily members who have DOD identification cards with indefinite expiration dates get the new next generation USID card, when convenient, but within the next four years. That’s because the older cards will be phased out by 2026 for the next-generation IDs, which are more durable and have enhanced security features.
