U.S. Air Force Col (ret) launches Warriors Heart Foundation Awareness Campaign on Flag Day
In sync with Flag Day (June 14, 2018), U.S. Air Force Colonel (ret) Chris Stricklin launches a Warriors Heart Foundation Awareness Campaign and Fundraiser featuring 2 custom-made flags to support healing for warriors (military, veterans and first responders) struggling with addiction, PTSD, Mild TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), and other recurring symptoms.
San Antonio, Texas (PRWEB) June 11, 2018
U.S. Air Force Colonel (ret) Chris R. Stricklin announces a Warriors Heart Foundation Awareness Campaign and Fundraiser from Flag Day (June 14, 2018) to Liberty Day (June 30). Anyone can support this effort and win one of two handcrafted flags by Warriors Heart clients through Stricklin’s Protecting Our Protectors Facebook event and donation pages. All proceeds from this flag artwork raffle and silent auction will help provide residential treatment for warriors (military, veterans and first responders) overcoming their War at Home with chemical dependencies, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), Mild TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and other recurring symptoms.
Stricklin is a member of the Warriors Heart Foundation Honorary Board of Advisors, and served 23 years in the U.S. Air Force, including combat in both Afghanistan and Iraq. After a recent visit to the Warriors Heart ranch in Texas, Stricklin reflected, “I experienced a spiritual awakening for the power of healing warriors found in making these custom flags. And along with my wife, Terri, we felt compelled to organize this campaign to highlight a veteran commits suicide an average of every 72 minutes, and a law enforcement officer does the same every 62 hours (according to the Badge of Life Study).”
During this unique peer-to-peer residential treatment program, warriors have the option of making a flag from materials at the Warriors Heart Foundation metal and wood shop. These one-of-a-kind flags are handmade from the heart, and then sold to benefit Warriors Heart Foundation. All profits support the foundations’ “Pay It Forward” Program that helps a fellow warrior get treatment at Warriors Heart and find “Strength Through Healing.”
This fundraiser will include two unique flags that are artwork made by Warriors Heart clients. Each flag is hand-signed on the back by the artist(s). And there are two ways to get involved:
1) FLAG 1 Raffle – Rustic Flag - Purchase raffle tickets to enter a raffle benefiting Warriors Heart Foundation ($5 per ticket or buy batches for larger amounts).
2) FLAG 2 Silent Auction – Traditional Flag - Bid in silent auction for this stunning flag via phone (205-669-3912) M-F 9am-5pm CST or in-person by Saturday, June 30, 2018, at the Shelby County Museum & Archives in Columbiana, Alabama.
Reflecting on the meaning of the flag during Stricklin’s retirement speech at an Air Force Hangar at Beale Air Force Base, California, he emphasized: “We will forever have both a twinkle and a tear in our eye and pride in our heart each and every time we lock our gaze on our 13 stripes, on our 50 stars. And each and every time we hear any of our Constitution’s 4,543 words.”
Stricklin explains what this symbol of freedom represents to his family, “The flag means everything to us and guides our actions and reactions each and every day. The flag represents freedom. It is a symbol of our home and all we believe in…here, it also represents freedom from addiction. And the quality of these flags matches the quality of healing that went into the construction of it.”
Stricklin’s passion for the mission of the Warriors Heart Foundation is a result of this Fighter Pilot’s “Survivor’s Obligation” to improve each day. After walking away from what experts detail as an “un-survivable F-16 ejection” in 2003, Stricklin is currently writing a book called “Survivor’s Obligation” (2019). Stricklin and co-author Joel Neeb explain, “life is not about making decisions you can live with, it’s about making decisions you can die with.” Through near-death experiences, the co-authors discuss the amazing opportunity to be more, do more, live more…and challenge people to earn the day!
In addition to raising funds, this Warriors Heart Foundation Awareness Campaign and Fundraiser will include:
1. Liberty Day Festival and Parade (June 29-30, 2018) – The Stricklins will host a Warriors Heart Foundation booth at the Liberty Day Festival in their hometown of Columbiana, Alabama, where both flag winners will be announced on June 30.
2. Fourth of July Week Warriors Heart Foundation Flag Celebrations – During the week of July 4, stories will be told to recap this campaign and the results.

About Breaker Bags
Jon Paul White, lead designer and Breaker Bags founder, has been obsessing about backpack design for the past five years. He graduated with honors with degrees in Industrial Design and Design Management at Arizona State University, and has created more than a dozen backpack designs over the years. As a two-time leukemia survivor, he’s learned to value life’s many possibilities and adventures, and has worked hard to create a product that will help others find and live their own adventures.
Jon Paul’s brother, Dave White, is the perfect combination of computer geek and outdoor adventurer. He earned a degree in English (with a minor in Hebrew) from the University of Utah, all the while earning his way in the world by mastering computer technology and design. When he’s not working at his computer, he’s toting his cameras into the backcountry and high country of Utah’s wilderness (along with many other excursions as far away as the mountains of Peru).
Jon White is proud to call Jon Paul and Dave his sons. He graduated many years ago from Brigham Young University, then embarked on a career in advertising. He and his two partners, John Dahlin and Darrell Smith, founded Dahlin Smith White Advertising in 1986. For nearly 20 years, they helped lead the way in technology advertising, most notably as the ad agency that created and nurtured the Intel Inside campaign for Intel, Inc., throughout the decade of the 90’s. Now retired, he’s just happy to be in business with his second set of awesome partners. Reported by PRWeb 15 hours ago.

About Breaker Bags
Jon Paul White, lead designer and Breaker Bags founder, has been obsessing about backpack design for the past five years. He graduated with honors with degrees in Industrial Design and Design Management at Arizona State University, and has created more than a dozen backpack designs over the years. As a two-time leukemia survivor, he’s learned to value life’s many possibilities and adventures, and has worked hard to create a product that will help others find and live their own adventures.
Jon Paul’s brother, Dave White, is the perfect combination of computer geek and outdoor adventurer. He earned a degree in English (with a minor in Hebrew) from the University of Utah, all the while earning his way in the world by mastering computer technology and design. When he’s not working at his computer, he’s toting his cameras into the backcountry and high country of Utah’s wilderness (along with many other excursions as far away as the mountains of Peru).
Jon White is proud to call Jon Paul and Dave his sons. He graduated many years ago from Brigham Young University, then embarked on a career in advertising. He and his two partners, John Dahlin and Darrell Smith, founded Dahlin Smith White Advertising in 1986. For nearly 20 years, they helped lead the way in technology advertising, most notably as the ad agency that created and nurtured the Intel Inside campaign for Intel, Inc., throughout the decade of the 90’s. Now retired, he’s just happy to be in business with his second set of awesome partners. Reported by PRWeb 15 hours ago.

Doctor, assistant booked for sexually assaulting over 30 women patients
A doctor from Vadodara allegedly sexually abused over 30 women patients by first offering them free treatment and then resorting to blackmail. Accused Pratik Joshi perpetrated the crime with the help of his compounder, said the police.
Joshi, who practised allopathy in Nandesari village, was booked on Sunday after a woman came forward to lodge a complaint against him and his accomplice Dilip Gohil. While Joshi is on the run, the police have arrested Gohil.
Gohil has told the Nandesari police that Joshi offered his services for free to women patients in return for sex. Joshi and Gohil trapped the women by recording the act and used it for repeated sexual assaults. This had been going on for the past one and half years, he said.
According to the complainant, she was blackmailed several times by the doctor and his assistant forced her into sex nine times.
Sources said Joshi went underground two months ago after at least 25 videos of him having sex with the patients went viral on social media. The police said his wife moved to her mother’s house after she learnt about her husband’s crime.
Apparently, Joshi himself was blackmailed and extorted by five villagers, including the deputy sarpanch, after Gohil showed them the videos.
JK Patel, inspector of Nandesari police station, said only one survivor has approached them so far. “Most of the others are reluctant. We believe more than 30 women of the village were abused.”
Patel said they have formed two teams to track down Joshi. “Regarding the allegation on five other people, we will record their statements first.”
