The Sun Was Relentless. The Military Band Played. And There Were Speeches, A Lot Of Speeches and A Sobering 21 Gun Salute. And Then It Was Over ... Until Next Year.

Vietnam War Veteran Mike Justino And I Started Talking After The Golden Gate National Cemetery's Memorial Day Program Ended. My Reporter, Leigh Martinez, And I Had Finished Shooting Our Story And I Was Striking My Gear Heading Back To The Car As I Listened To Mike Tell Me About His Time Spent Here At This Cemetery 50 Years Ago. And As He Began To Tell Me About His Job As Part Of The Funeral Detail and Having To Bury His 20 Year Old Cousin Killed In Vietnam Just 10 Yards From Where We Were Standing , I Became Convinced The Story That Needed To Be Told Today Was His.
When Leigh Finally Met Mike And They Started Talking, I Didn't Have To Say But A Few Words, I Just Picked Up My Camera And Rolled. So Proud Of My Colleague For Switching Gears So Fast And Building A Moving Tribute To The Fallen. We Shared 10 Minutes With Mike, But His Words Lingered In The Air Long After He Left.

June is PTSD Awareness Month.

For Over Two Million Veterans Living With Post Traumatic Stress, Day To Day Living Can Be A Struggle, A Struggle To Stay In the Present Moment. Benign Events Throughout The Day Trigger Memories That Heighten Their Levels Of Anxiety And Depression After Combat. Coping Skills Have Been Exhausted.

The Veterans Administration Has Begun Partnering With Non Profit Groups Across The Country To Offer Mindful Resilience Classes To Help Alleviate The Debilitating Symptoms Of PTSD. As An Alternative To Drug and Talk Therapy, Yoga And Meditation Is Now Being Embraced By The VA . Recent Studies By The Veteran’s Administration Have Shown That For Some Veterans It Is An Effective Form Of Mental Health Treatment.

According To The VA's Statistics, 22 US Veterans Commit Su***de Everday. Groups Like Califoria Based Veterans Yoga Project And Instructors Like Sean Silvera of Baptiste Yoga Of San Francisco Are Working On the Frontlines In Communites Across The US To Help Bring Those Numbers Down, One Veteran At A Time, One Breath At A Time.

"Thrill Of A Lifetime!"

94 Year Old Lester Dever Grinned As He Took Off His Aviator's Cap And Climbed Down From The Open Cockpit Of The Cherry Red Stearman.

This WW2 Veteran Was Given A Free Ride Aboard Ageless Aviation's Restored Biplane That Is Touring The Country Offering No Cost Rides For Veterans That Apply For The Bucket List Flight.

At 21 Years Old Major Dever Was Awarded The Distinguished Flying Cross After WW2 For The 24 Missions He Flew Between Japan and Guam---Nearly Eight Decades Ago.

He Reminisced As He Stepped On To The Wing of the Stearman And Helped Back On To The Tarmac. Dever Spoke With Clarity Of The 15 Hour Missions He Flew Over The Pacific And Smell And Sights Of A Burning Japan.

"We Flew 1000Ft Above A Burning Tokyo And It Was Very Hot And Turbulent From All The Thermals Rising From The Fires --This, This Was Smooth, Much Nicer," He Breaks Into A Smile ,"This Was Tops!"
