Memorandum: Accelerated Mortality Rates of Vietnam Veterans. Introduction. During the early 1. Franklin County, Massachusetts, I became active with other Vietnam veterans in response to the myriad physical, psychological, and social problems we seemed to be experiencing. I was active in a local Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) chapter, and subsequently became director of the state- funded Western Massachusetts Agent Orange Information Project, and later, executive director of a veterans outreach center. Through numerous conversations and formal interviews with hundreds of veterans I began to establish an empirical substantiation of the syndrome of problems that certainly is one of the tragic legacies of the Vietnam War (i. Vietnamese which the Vietnamese call . Grasping the depth of the prevailing sense of shame, malaise, and deteriorating physical and mental health, I began to understand more deeply both the burden and incredible potential wisdom of the war, not just for veterans, but for the entire American society. Both the syndrome known as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), often delayed for a decade or more enabling the psyche time to integrate the horrible realities that the Vietnam experience possesses for many, and exposure to the most intensive application of chemical warfare in history by the Pentagon (in cahoots with seven chemical companies, including Monsanto and Dow), directly contributed to a myriad of symptoms, physical, emotional, and psychic. A pattern of extraordinary sickness and depression for this age group of young males (age 3. United States.

Wilson, Cleveland State University, 1. This definitive study was originally titled, Identity, Ideology and Crisis: The Vietnam Veteran in Transition. A classified VA memo dated 6/3.

An alarming disparity in official VA figures reporting a dramatic decrease in the estimated number of Vietnam Era Veterans in Civilian Life from September 3. March 3. 1, 1. 98. Vietnam- era veterans in that 1. The disparity was never explained. I suggest four possible explanations: (1) changed, inconsistent, and/or mistaken reporting and estimation procedures; (2) a large emigration of Vietnam- era veterans out of the U. S.; (3) a high mortality rate for Vietnam- era veterans; or (4) a combination of any and/or all of the above explanations. On Monday, January 2. Massachusetts Agent Orange Program of the State Office of Commissioner of Veterans’ Services released results of its study, Mortality Among Vietnam Veterans in Massachusetts, 1. The one- year study revealed that deaths due to suicides and motor vehicle accidents, along with kidney cancer, were . The researchers claim that this study of California and Pennsylvania men is the first to show a cause- and- effect relationship between military service during the Vietnam War and an unusual risk of suicide. From Summer 1. 98. Summer 1. 98. 5 there were seven known additional suicides of Vietnam veterans in the Franklin- Hampshire County area of Massachusetts. Because one’s veteran status is often not known at time of death, whether by suicide or other cause, and because suicides are often masked under causes listed as single- car accidents, drug or alcohol overdose, etc., actual deaths by suicide remain unknown. Other veterans whom I knew in the 1. A November 1, 1. 98. U. S. House Report 9.

In some cases the data suggests mortality rates are. Troy and Theodora Polamalu Talk About Working Out, Giving Back and—Of Course—Troy’s Famous Hair! Troy Polamalu is known as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ fast and physical safety. But off the field, Troy’s a soft- spoken family man who makes setting a good example for his younger players and fans one of his top priorities. Recently, he hosted a Polynesian Luau Event to benefit the Harry Panos Fund of the Pittsburgh Foundation, which he set up with his wife, Theodora, in honor of her grandfather, a World War II veteran, and the Troy Polamalu Football Camp held in American Somoa each year. I got the chance to chat with the Polamalus while Troy got his curls touched up by Head & Shoulders Celebrity Stylist, Sunnie Brook Jones (Polamalu’s a spokesperson for the brand). Polamalu taking the stage at the luau. And then we’re going to have a performance by Netane, which is a Polynesian dance group out of Orlando, Florida and it’s going to be a real good time. At most events, players come and people pay to get autographs but in a lot of ways this event epitomizes our culture in that we’re hosting an event for everyone to have a really good time. Obviously, people have paid for tickets to get in, which is the great fundraising aspect of it, but as far as hosting it, there’s live music, two concerts, a live performance, all- you- can- eat food, and all- you- can- drink drinks. There’s just so many people who have donated so much and it’s really cool that when you have a passion for a certain cause, how willing people are to really fork out and help out.”Head & Shoulders is a title sponsor of the event and you’ve been partnered with them for four years. What do you like most about working with the Head & Shoulders brand? I grew up using Head & Shoulders, so it was really awesome to start the relationship four years ago and to be able to do the different commercials that we’ve done and to pair it with different things. We paired it first with a charity called Operation Once in a Lifetime, which our charity, the Harry Panos Fund for Veterans still has a close relationship with. Then we do things like the million dollar hair insurance policy, the wax figure and now we have the School of Deeper Learning. But it’s been an awesome relationship that we’ve had together. Our locker room is full of Head & Shoulders products!”As a football player used to being on the field, is it difficult getting used to the beauty aspect of these things, like the hair and makeup? For example: the acting—on our very first commercial they gave me five lines, very simple. The first time I ever did anything, they tried to put makeup on me and I was really offended! But you get used to these things.” Photo opp with the . You represent your wife, your children, your family, your culture, the people you were raised by, your faith, and you have to always be conscious of that rather than living egocentrically and doing what you want to do. So in a sense, I think all of it goes to the different circumstances and people that have helped me throughout my entire life.”So, will you ever cut your hair? Well, I haven’t cut it in years. Not even a trim; I never even trimmed it. I could probably use one, as I’ve been told several times. I haven’t cut it for 1. I think it’s going on 1. I met my wife so I haven’t cut it since I met her!”Speaking of your wife: Theodora, I know you are a busy mom of two. How do you find time to fit in exercise? Making sure the children are happy. My husband and my children always come first before anything else. And as long as their happy and they are getting everything that they need, then everything else just falls into place—they’re always my first priority.” Polamalu with his wife and two sons, Paisios and Ephraim. But now, after the kids, I don’t really have time to go to the gym, so I just try to put them in a stroller or a double stroller and jog around the city.”Besides jogging, are there any specific workouts you like to do when you can fit it in? I try to do that whenever I’m in California. I try to do it three times a week if I can. I do Cross. Fit; I love it. It’s an amazing workout. It works your core really well, which is great for women, especially if you have kids. The core sort of goes away so you really have to train those muscles hard to get back into shape and back into being strong again. After children, everything gets a little bit stretched out. I was running like six miles a day as often as I could. If I can’t get the kids in the stroller to jog with them, then I’ll just go run around the park. Sometimes I run without them to help clear my head.”What are the healthy snacks you like to prepare for your family? Green juice is a staple in our house. The kids help me; they know all about it. I put fruit in their green juice to make it a little sweeter. But the green juice I drink generally doesn’t have any fruit at all so that’s our staple. Juicing is really fun. The kids get involved with it, then they get excited about what they make so they don’t mind drinking it even if it looks funny. We like to say that my kids are super heroes so green juice is . It’s really fun and a great way to get kids interested and active in participating in a healthy and balanced diet.”.
