ADAM HAMM
Commissioner of Insurance
What is the meaning of
"I've Got Your 6?"
The phrase originated
in WWI when fghter pilots
communicated to squadrons
that they have "got their 6.'"
It means the escort fighter
planes have "gof their back."
Pilots often used the
numbers on thb clock face to
give a quick sense of direction,,
such as "aircraft at 3 o'clock."'
The plane was considered alt
12 o'clock -- straight ahead -
- but 6 o'clock meant directly
behind the pilot, which was
out-of-sight to the pilot unti!l
the days of radar.
Therefore, I've "GotYour6"
meant "I've got your back."
Generally, a 5-6-7 o'clock
view was out of the pilot's
peripheral vision and was a
venerable position for attack.
In WWII, bombers had both
tail gunners and fighter
escorts for squadrons.
Today, an unprecedented
awareness campaign, called
"GotYour6." is underway by
entertainment and media
networks, supported by
corporate and non-profit
service organizations, to
support the million service
men and women who are
returning to civilian life over
the next five years.
The campaign creates a
focus on assisting veterans
and military families to make
a smooth transition back
to military life through "six
pillars of reintegration."
The six pillars are: Health,
Housing, Family, Education,
Jobs and Leadership. The
first three are primarily
family; the last three are in
the purview of community.
Check out the Website:
www.gotyour6.org.
The organizationpromotes
the fact that veterans, and
especially young recent
returnees, are prime civic
assets from their leadership
experience in carrying
out a mission, teamwork,
overcoming obstacles, and
in some cases, interacting to
help re-build communities
within the battleground.
This well-organized media
effort to improve the national
dialogue between military
service members and their
civilian communities is
increasingly important
today, as many returning
veterans have been deployed
into harm's way from rural
National Guard and Reserve
units as opposed to a career
volunteer in the active force.
Many "weekend warriors"
come from farms and small
towns and form a collective
unit nearby for weekend
training once a month and
two weeks active training
on a military base. Often in
a small town, less than a car
full of trainees travel some
distance to join their parent
unit where more support
services are available.
Statistically, one in ten
citizens are veterans or
service members. From
studies dating back to
WWII and the Korean War,
a certain percentage of
persons in combat suffer
from the effects of prolonged
stress in harm's way. First
called "combat fatigue," the
syndrome today is clinically
labeled "Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder" (PTSD),
which affects an estimated
20% of returnees.
Today, PTSD is considered
a normal reaction to undue
exposure to horrific scenes
or threats, including first
responders and innocent
civilians that witness
violence, storms or
bombings.
People tend to work
through the night sweats,
headaches and nightmares
that often are associated
with PTSD by disassociating
themselves from the lasting
memories and benefitting
from new methods to reduce
the symptoms.

him, a hawk will suddenly
appear, soaring above me
when I'm walking or driving.
I always think it is a sign he
never really left.
The other day, I
received a beautiful card in
the mail from my mother-
in-law Sharon. Inside was
a poem by E. Brenneman
called "His lourney's Just
Begun." I would like to share
with you in hopes it will
bring some peace to those
who have lost a loved one
and are feeling those pains
of grief that come when we
least expect them to.
"Don't think of him
as gone away...His journey's
just begun. Life holds so
many facets this life is only
one. Just think of him as
resting from the sorrows and
the tears, in a place of warmth
and comfort where there are
no days or years. Think how
he must be wishing that
we could know .today, how
nothing but our sadness can
really pass away. And think
nothing loved is ever lost...
and he was loved so much."
Sometimes along the way
life can knock us off balance
for a time and challenge our
inner strength and fortitude.
I for one am grateful for good
friends, those living angels
who sometimes know what I
need even when I don't know
it myself, for ,strong family
roots that hold up the fragile
branches and continue to
nourish our budding souls,
and for the amazing grace
which helps me acknowledge
my sorrows while holding
on to the memories. The
grace that challenges me to
cherish every single moment
on this earth with the people
I love most because one day
I will need to draw on the
unforgettable memories
of this journey to get me
back on my feet, lead me
through troubled times,
brighten my life, and give
me the resilience to step into
another new dawn.
Center in Denver, a peer
group approach (not groflp
therapy) worked the best
where soldiers were driven
in a van to an area Western
bar before it opened for the
day, they sat clustered in a
darkened corner to exchange
stories in a safe environment
(with a clinician standing
by), and occasionally one
would "bust out" through the
swinging saloon doors (like
John Wayne), scan the street
for a "reality check," take in a
few breaths of flesh air, and
return to the story circle with
their buddies.
Today, simulation "de-
briefings" seem to work best
as being done at University of
Southern California, where
an experimental program
hooks up a veteran with a
pair of $200 "goggles" that
are connected to a simulator
that can duplicate crafted
scenes, like in a video game.
The veteran is at the controls
with a clinician across the
desk, if needed, for counsel,
and the simulated "daytime
nightmares" dissipate at the
pace set by the veteran.
Dozens of service
organizations are adapting
their outreach to recent
returnees to create new ways
for veterans or civilians to
assist those returnees in
the community to find jobs
and become leaders in their
respective hometowns or a
place of their choice.
Last week, the ND
American Legion adjutant
from Fargo spent the day at
the UND Memorial Union
with a booth to promote an
on-campus, peer-organized
UND American Legion Post
401 to serve the 500+ recent
returnees who are currently
in school to learn new skills
and prepare for new career
tracks.
In Fargo at NDSU, 1.200
student veterans have
chartered Legion Post 400.
At Northland Technology
Center in East Grand Forks,
the campus offers veterans
a "lounge' where veterans
can "hang out, study, and
exchange experiences from
both military and civilian
settings as a means of
transition.
Adjacent to the Legion
booth was a student-
organization that support
getting jobs through the
"Golden Paperclip" project
which offers veterans a
one-minute crafted video
resume for posting on a
future dedicated Website.
The student organization
(check out www.stlf.net)
will handout out a 2" golden
• paperclip for veterans to wear
on their student 'baseball"
caps or attire to signal that
they are looking for a job
or internship. Employers
looking to hire veterans get a
3" clip to wear or hang in the
storefront window.
In the malls and coffee
shops, they can recognize
each other and spark a
conversation, a mutual
"thank you," and maybe at
best a career.
It's our turn as acommunity
to "GotYour6."
