Coming on the tail of
moving into its new office
space in Hermiston, Preg-
nancy Care Services of
Hermiston and Pendleton
recently held a fundraising
banquet.
With a theme of Cel-
ebrate A Vision for Life,
Debbie Cissna, executive
director of the Hermiston
office, called the Jan. 22
event a success. The goal
of $25,000 was eclipsed
— with more than $45,000
raised by nearly 400 people
in attendance. In addition,
38 people started a new
monthly partnership or in-
creased their current level
of involvement, increasing
the organization’s monthly
funds by almost $1,500.
A packed house filled
the Hermiston Conference
Center and those in atten-
dance enjoyed a pork loin
dinner prepared by Kathy
Barnett. In addition, John
Ensor, a leader, speaker
and writer for the pregnan-
cy help movement, was
the keynote speaker for the
event. Esnor’s message,
Cissna said, was an impact-
ful reminder that “the call
to defend pre-born human
life is nothing new, it’s just
our turn.”
With a wide base of
community support, Cissna

said Pregnancy Care Ser-
vices will begin a plan to
provide increased services
to more men, women and
families facing unplanned
pregnancies. In addition to
expanding their abstinence
curriculum to area youths,
they will be exploring the
steps necessary to offer
early ultrasound services to
abortion vulnerable wom-
en. The organization also
hopes to reach more men
with male mentors to help
them learn about father-
hood.

WHAT INSPIRED ME TO WRITE MY FIRST BOOK.
After my 4th tour in Iraq back in November 2009,
I was having a hard time shutting off the war mindset.
While I struggled to keep the inner rage from war under
control, I fought three years to get seen by the Mental
Health Department from the United States Army . Once
I established my fi rst appointment with a Psychologist
I wrote a 25 page statement about my side effects
from war and gave it to them a week prior to my fi rst
appointment . I fi gure when you spent 6 years running
back and forth to Iraq “January 2003 to November
2009” it’s hard to explain or share all your problem
to a Psychologist who will only give you a 50 minute
session. The 25 pages has became a book which is
now on a mission to stop the 22 suicided Deaths a
day amongst our fellow War Veterans.
