As our nation prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we are called to remember not only the birth of our country, but the ideals that gave it life: liberty, courage, self-sacrifice, service, and the belief that a better future is possible. When people stand together for something greater than themselves.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, men and women risked everything to secure independence and establish a nation built on freedom and responsibility. Across generations, those same ideals have been carried forward by the service members, veterans, and military families who continue to defend our nation today. They have guarded our freedoms, protected our communities, and preserved the promise of America for all of us.
This historic anniversary gives us more than a reason to celebrate. It gives us an opportunity to act. As fireworks light the sky and communities gather in gratitude, we can choose a gift worthy of the country we love: a better military-to-civilian transition for the men and women who have served, and a stronger future for America’s veterans.
At Resurrecting Lives Foundation, this mission is at the heart of our work. Too many veterans return home carrying invisible wounds, including traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, and the burdens of navigating healthcare, education, employment, and community life on their own. Gratitude alone is not enough. Our veterans deserve a clear path from deployment to employment, from service to stability, and from sacrifice to renewed purpose.
That call to action is powerfully advanced in Guarding Our Guardians: Guaranteeing America’s Veterans a Future from Deployment to Employment by Dr. Chrisanne Gordon, founder of Resurrecting Lives Foundation. Drawing on Dr. Gordon’s medical expertise, advocacy, and lived understanding of traumatic brain injury, Guarding Our Guardians reminds us that when we care for those who once guarded us, we protect not only their future, but the future strength of our nation.
As we mark America’s 250th anniversary, we invite you to celebrate in a way that honors both our founding generation and today’s guardians and defenders of freedom. Together, we can help turn appreciation into opportunity, patriotism into action, and celebration into lasting change. This 250th anniversary, let us give our veterans a gift worthy of their service: a smoother transition home, a renewed sense of purpose, and a better future in the nation they helped defend.
Reverently Grateful,

The Facts About TBI
- Treating TBI/PTSD is a necessity; NOT an option. Prompt diagnosis and treatment diminishes complications and improves employment and education opportunities.
- TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) has been estimated in 20-25% of the nearly 3.2 million returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, and an estimated 30% have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
- Conventional neuroimaging studies such as the MRI and CAT scan do not reveal the pathology of a mild TBI. Newer technology, such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging and functional MRI must be utilized to further the diagnosis and treatment of the nearly 450,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with TBI.
- The conditions caused by TBI are unforgiving, and include substance abuse, unemployment, homelessness, incarceration and even suicide.
- Recent statistics released by the DOD/VA indicate that Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are taking their own lives at an alarming rate. Statistics reveal that nearly five times more veterans have died by suicide than in combat.
