Walter Langnese, III Chief Judge, Warm Springs Tribal Court "1 The Indian Warrior, The Veterans Comer Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Military Veterans "My life is different after that happened and I don 't know why. At first it didn 't seem to bother me, but now I have terrifying dreams about it and can 't seem to get it out of my mind. All I want is to be left alone. My family and friends want me to be the way I used to be, to forget it, but I'm not the same person. I thought I could forget about it when I got out, but it got worse. If I don 't have a couple of drinks I can 't get to sleep, and now I'm drinking more. The kids bother me a lot, and I'm pretty irritable and snap at everybody for nothing, really. I've had a lot of jobs since I got out, but I can 't seem to keep them for long. I don '( like to be around people, I sit with my back to the wall whenever I can. Loud noises bother me, and I feel more comfortable with a weapon. At night I check the doors and windows several times before I can relax. Night is bad, I hear all the neighborhood noises, dogs barking, car doors slamming people talking..." Many veterans can relate to this statement, which was made by one among their members, While we can all be placed in dangerous situations in our society, military service can be especially hazardous. Besides the obvious risk in combat, there are other special risks as well. There are many potentially dangerous situations, from training with arms, explosives and large machinery to the possibility of transportation accidents, or interpersonal violence. Some incidents may cause physical injuries which are easily recognized, but many can cause emotional danger as well. Emotional damage can occur from surviving and event where one's life, or the lives of others emotionally close to one are threatened. Emotional scarring can also happen if one or those close to one have survived frightening events. It is called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by mental health professionals. In the 1860's this emotional response was called "railroad spine." It was related to railroad workers who had been exposed to life threatening accidents and were reluctant to return to work. They often reported back pain, but there were no physical injuries. They also were nervous, had nightmares, depression and sleeplessness. During the Civil War, Dr, Decosta, a U. S. Army surgeon, reported high levels of tension, fast heart rate, inability to sleep, and fear about returning to combat. This response to combat was called "shell shock." The thinking of the medical profession at that time was that tremendous shelling caused small U. S. Marines The year was 1945, the Month was February, day 19th, where 30,000 U.S. Marines landed on the Island of Jwo Jima, during world War II, where they began a big battle Gilbert Cecil Conner, age 74 passed away at St. Charles Medical Center on February 22, 1998 due to natural causes. Mr. Conner was born o parents Gilbert Edward and Elsie (Spokane) Conner August 13, 1923 at Tutuilla, Oregon (southeast of Pendleton). "Cece" was an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Umatilla and was of Umatilla, Cay use and Nez Perce descent. He at tended District 44 and graduated from Pendleton High School in 1941. As aPendlelon Buckaroo, he lettered in football two years. He also played tennis, Softball, and bas ketball. As a baby buck, his basket ball squad was undefeated in 22 games. On September 13, 1997 Cece was inducted into the Willamette University Athletic Hall of Fame along with his teammates of the 1941 Bearcat Football team. Be sides their impressive 8-2 season and the Northwest Conference championship under Coach Spec Keene, the 1941 team traveled to Honolulu to play the University of Hawaii and ran into war. The team was eating breakfast at their hotel when the bombing began on De cember 7. The team was put on guard duty and returned to the main land on a troop ship attending wounded soldiers weeks later. He soon enlisted in the U.S. Ma rine Corps and served in the Central and Southwest Pacific from Sep blood vessels in the brain to burst. The symptoms included running amok.jumpiness, irritability, trouble sleeping, and physical tremors. World War II brought us "battle fatigue," a term which started with the U.S. forces in Tunisia, North Africa. The battlefield medical personnel found that rest, food and returning soldiers to their units helped them to deal with their emotional and physical problems related to combat. In the Korean War, the term "gross stress reaction" was used to describe the emotional turmoil that was result of combat and being a prisoner of war. During the Vietnam War, there were very few battlefield emotional casualties. The emotional distress began to show later, after the veterans returned home from their one-year combat tours. This delay in the appearance of symptoms was called "delayed stress reaction" and post Vietnam syndrome." In the late 1970s the Disabled American Veterans (DA V) sponsored psychological research into the emotional aftermath of battle on Vietnam veterans. The research was called the Forgotten Warrior Project. As a result of this research, the DAV opened centers for Vietnam veterans and their families in tO cities around the country. The service included assistance in obtaining counseling, obtaining veterans' benefits and access to employment and training programs, as well as other services. In the early 1980s, following the DAV's success in developing treatment techniques, the Veterans Administration (VA) began its Vet Center program, designed specifically to treat veterans and their families for trauma-related emotional difficulties. As the Vet Center program grew, the DAV phased out its outreach initiative. Since 1980, the American Psychiatric Association has included'Tost-traumatic stress disorder" in its official diagnostic manuals is used worldwide as the bible of mental difficulties. The diagnosis of PTSD is given to people who have been confronted with events which seem to be potentially harmful to themselves or others. The people Raise the Flag on Iwo Jima for a month or so to secure that Island which was another step closer to the mather land of the Japanene Empire. On February 25, U.S. Marines capturec Mount Suribachi, where the Howlak Tichum Gilbert Cecil "Cece" Conner tember 1943 until January 1945. He participated in the Gilberts, Marshall and Marianas Island operations. Mr. Conner was also a rifle expert, radio operator and a corporal in aviation. After his discharge, Cece returned to Pendleton and then to Willamette. He resumed his love of football and tennis. In the Bearcat Book, it boasts "Cece can scamper as well as he rifle passes." Cece married Virginia (Wilkenson) Conner on November 26, 1948 at Walla Walla, WA. She is also a member of the Confederated Tribes of Umatilla and the 1948 Pendleton Round Up Queen. He graduated from Willamette in 1951 with a Bachelor of Arts and four years of letters in football and tennis. In 1989, Cece retired after 41 years of federal service of which 39 were with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Department of Interior. Always an athlete, Cece excelled throughout his life in bowling, golf, fishing, bas ketball, baseball, softball, pool and tennis. He was lifetime member of Elliott Palmer VFW Post 421 7 and was post commander. Preceding him in death are brother, Duane Conner, sisters Antoinette Williams, Naomi Shepherd and granddaughter Elena. Survivors include his wife, Vir ginia of Madras; Children Cheryl, James. Matthew and Knsten Conner, Elaine Miller all of Madras, Oregon; John Conner of Lapwai. ID, JoJy responded to the event or series of events with intense fear, hopelessness or horror. Not just those surviving the event are included among PTSD;s victims, but those who think that a harmful event is about to happen to them or to a loved one or close friend. Traumatized people describe psychological reliving the event in several ways. Thinking about it a lot when they are not trying to remember it is one way. It seems that the memories just pop into their minds. Some tell of occasional nightmares about the trauma; others recount becoming very upset when reminded of it. Flashbacks give victims the feelings and sensation of returning to the scene where the trauma was experienced. Many have; guilty or shameful feelings despite the fact that the trauma was not their fault; Many actively avoid things that remind them of the trauma, such as not watching certain movies or TV shows, not talking about it or avoiding certain locations that bring back the memories. Some periodically become depressed, feel that they are living on borrowed time or experience difficulty having fun. Many have trouble remembering some major portion of the trauma. Most feel that they have been changed, that they don't fit into the mainstream of society, that they don't belong. Some report feeling anxious, tense and jumpy. They have trouble falling or stay ing asleep, may have fits of rage over nothing. There may be trouble remembering or concentrating. Almost all report that they are jumpy and nervous now, startle easily, and don't like being in crowds. They don't feel safe. Lots of people feel that they are going crazy because they can't stop feeling the way they do. Often they don't associate the symptoms with the original trauma. Drinking may increase in an attempt to get to sleep. While we all have some of these problems at various times, a person with PTSD continues to have the symptoms on a cyclic basis. They don't have problems all the time, but do have them on and off over a period of time. They may feel guilty about surviving the event, and feel different from other people and from how they used to be. If this sounds like you or a family member, it may be helpful to consult with a mental health professional who specializes in PTSD. PTSD is a treatable disorder. While the memories never completely go away, the symptoms can become manageable, Many people simply put up with their symptoms because they' are embarrassed to ask for help for emotional problems. Others feel that nothing can help, but generally that impression is mistaken. Veterans and their families can receive counseling from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Vet Center program. You . can contact the DAV for information about this program, as well as other veterans' benefits. U.S. Marines made that Historicla' moment of raising the American Flag, with Ira Hayes and company.
