SUMMARY:My Hallowed Ground
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Russell Rayman\, M.D.\, MPH\, DAvMed and authorA Special Program to Honor Our Veterans in collaboration with the J-Men’s Group \n\n\n\nDr. Russell Rayman is a former flight surgeon with the United States Air Force. He began his career in the military voluntarily in 1962 as an aerospace medicine resident and was stationed on bases around the world and stateside until his air force retirement in 1989. He then went on to work for NASA. His time on the battlefield and in the space program have been captured in his book\, “My Hallowed Ground\,” a fascinating chronology of service\, courage\, and experiences with the backdrop of key historical events. \n\n\n\nDr. Rayman will share his fascinating compelling story with you on November 14\, focusing mostly on his Vietnam experience; however\, this program is not a book sale. It is an opportunity to hear interesting anecdotes\, salute our veterans\, and enjoy special patriotic refreshments. \n\n\n\nThis program is made possible in part thanks to Synergy Home Care. \n\n\n\nFee: Complimentary to all.
