Good read…

Before 1980 there was no official name for what they were carrying.
Vietnam Veterans came home to a country divided. The war had lost public support. Many Veterans returned not to parades but to protest. To a nation that did not want to reckon with what it had sent them to do.
And they came home changed. Haunted by flashbacks. Unable to sleep. Filled with a rage and numbness they could not explain to anyone who had not been there.
The medical establishment called it adjustment problems. Many called it weakness. The Veterans called it survival.
By the early 1970s Vietnam Veterans began forming their own self-help communities — what one psychiatrist called "street corner psychiatry" — combining their healing with advocacy and demanding that the psychiatric community recognize what they were experiencing.
In 1980 the American Psychiatric Association formally recognized Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as an official diagnosis in the DSM-III. This was the first time trauma had been legitimized as a cause of persistent mental health symptoms. The diagnosis required exposure to an event outside the range of usual human experience. War, torture, assault, disaster. It included three symptom clusters: intrusive recollections including flashbacks and nightmares, avoidance and emotional numbing, and physiological hyperarousal.
For the first time the invisible wound had an official name.
It did not erase the stigma. It did not undo the years Veterans had suffered without recognition. But it opened a door that had been locked for generations.
And it started a conversation about language, identity, and healing that Mission 22 is still part of today.
Next week we go deeper. The diagnosis that gave Veterans recognition also gave them a word that became a barrier.
The D in PTSD. And why it matters.

Too many people stand back and watch.

In this powerful clip from the All In. Always. by Nada Bystander podcast, Chris Garcia challenges the growing culture of bystander behavior and reminds us that service, courage, and community don’t belong only to first responders and military members—they belong to all of us.

Whether it’s helping a neighbor, protecting someone in need, checking on a friend, or simply choosing to get involved instead of looking away, every one of us has the opportunity to make a difference.

Being a “Nada Bystander” isn’t just a brand. It’s a mindset.

It’s about stepping forward when others step back.

It’s about serving your community in whatever way you can.

It’s about being more than a bystander.

So the question is simple:

I’m not a bystander. Are you?

👇 Share your thoughts in the comments and tell us what being a “Nada Bystander” means to you.

Remember when Thursday nights actually meant something?

Before streaming… before endless scrolling… we all gathered around the TV and watched the same shows together. And whether we realized it or not, those shows shaped us.

From The Andy Griffith Show and MASH* to Growing Pains, Fresh Prince, Seinfeld, and 90210 — this episode is a decade-by-decade look at the TV shows that helped define Gen X.

The humor.
The lessons.
The characters.
The moments that still stick with us today.

Because maybe we weren’t just watching TV…

Maybe those shows were helping raise us the whole time.
