Staten Island: Veteran’s Film Screening & Discussion

November 22, 2014 at Veterans of Foreign Wars in Staten Island, NY.

We are presenting a FREE film screening and community discussion of Free the Mind. This is a documentary about Veterans that discusses Yoga and Breathing Techniques to assist veteran soldiers coping with physical and emotional distress.

More American soldiers commit suicide after they return from war, than are being killed in the war. Most of the war veterans suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Though the military trains service members for war, it does not train them for peace. After a long deployment of holding their breath in combat, they often return to civilian life no longer knowing how to breathe. Ready to make the ultimate sacrifice, service members embody courage, integrity, selflessness, and a deep commitment to protect others. They have trained under extreme conditions to do things most civilians will never have to think about: lost parts of their body or even their life, be separated from families and loved ones for months and even years, and live with the physical and emotional consequences upon their return home.

Please RSVP!!! If your interested call (929) 210-9810 or email us as [email protected].
