Everybody coming here for one specific reason and thats because they believe in the second cabs for every veteran. Staff Sergeant Tommy reiman is a certified American Hero. A winner of the silver star for valor but the bravest thing he ever did he says, is fight to get his life back. To appreciate this ceremonys significance you first need to hear reimans story. Look at these guys. Habib, tommy. All of it, its remarkable highs and sirful lowz i think came out of the womb with a uniform on. For me theres nothing greater and honor to represent this country. In december of 2003, reiman was one his first deployment in iraq when his threevehicle convoy drove into a death trap. We were ambushed by 35 guys. Got hit with three rpgs, three ieds and a bunch of small gunfire. I used my body to shield my gunner, i took a shot in the arm and chest and shrapnel to my legs. All eight of us survived. For that i received a silver star and purple heart. When he got home reiman traveled the country as military spokesman. He even has future role in a combat video game along with his own action figure. And there was one salute he did not expect. Tommy reiman was a teenager pumping gas when he enlisted in the night states army. In his 2007 state of the union address, president bush singled out reiman for heroism. He has earned the respect and gratitude of our entire country. So there you are hailed on National Television as a hero. What was really going on with you at that time . I didnt feel like hero, thats for sure. I felt like a complete piece of garbage at times. Reiman had come home a hero but a haunted one. He was battling ptsd and alcoholism. I was drinking two bottles of whiskey a day and anything else i could get my hands on. He lost his marriage, his house, and almost everything that was special to him. I was a changed person. I was full of hatred. I didnt want to communicate. I became the man i never wanted to be. Reimans life was in free mall. He tried to commit suicide. First in iraq and then after he got home. Second suicide attempt, what happened . Pops some pills drank a bit. Got the truck up 70 miles an hour and said snacks see i cant. I closed my eyes, hit the tree. And opened my eyes and there wasnt a scratch on me. I was angry about that. The man once hailed as a true American Hero had hit rock bottom. Reiman was arrested for drunk driving, a path hes certain would have meant the end of his life. Instead, he was handed a lifeline. Rather than being sent to a regular civilian court reiman was referred to a court that focuses on the special issues that confront men and women who have served in the u. S. Military. The honorable judge markle presiding. Its called a veterans treatment court. Modeled after other civilian specialty courts around the country, such as drug treatment courts, that are designed to keep nonviolent offenders out of jail. Unlike any other courtroom youve ever seen before. Ma police saw fitzgerald is the senior director of justice for vets, which promotes veteran treatment courts nationwide. Im just very happy that my life is going in the direction that its going in. I dont believe men and women like tommy reiman belong behind bars. I believe that the men and women like tommy reiman deserve an opportunity for treatment and for restoration. Helping vets is a new role for fitzgerald f. She looks familiar heres why. Jack.

Its estimated one in five vets who fought in iraq or go afghanistan suffers from ptsd or dregs. One in six has an issue been substance abuse. Tommy got help with all those treatments in court. I come in, you salute the judge. I thought that was really unique. Because it was instant sign of respect. I respected him for saluting me. There are now 220 military treatment courts across 36 states. A judge in buffalo established the first one in 2008. When a veteran is arrested for a nonviolent crime his or her lawyer recommends the military treatment court. Many are sent to rehab. Others get help with housing and job placement. Theyre all mentored by other vets. Theres something to be said about average mentor in court where heres a guy another veteran to look you in the isay you need to man up. The program demands accountability. Make sure that you communicate with your case manager and provide her if the vet completes it, which often takes more than a year, the sentence for the crime is reduced or forgiven. Its going to be a struggle. You have a ways to go. But you can do it. Roughly 11,000 vets are now receiving help through veterans treatment courts. In the case of the first court established in buffalo, 98 of veteran have not been rearrested. Order. Arms. Which brings us to this moment in harnett county, north carolina. 16 months after reimans arrest. It was Graduation Day for him and five other vets who satisfied the programs rigorous requirements.

With great pleasure it is here by announced that you are recognized for completion. Ive got my life back in order. I have job. I have home. Im seeing my kids every weekend. Im sober.

For centuries fahrenheits mercury thermometer was standard including medicine. It takes temperature such as this to make it possible osgood this somewhat overheated British Industrial film from 1953 followed the thermometer making process step by step. The result is saves many of us. Today modern digital thermometers are largely replaced mercury devices in doctors offices and hospitals. Most of the world outside the United States fahrenheits temperature scale has largely been replaced by centigrade where water freeze i at zero degrees and boils at 100. Still, there remains good reason to salute daniel fahrenheits contributions. How hot is hot . How cold is cold . A problem of days of old.
