Salute to our Troops




Our Veterans deserve the best care for protecting our Freedom.




Carl E. Miller


Special Thanks to my Maternal Grandfather Carl E. Miller who served in the army during World War II. 

His service to our country included being held captive in Hitler's Nazi Concentration Camps, not once but twice. He nearly starved to death before he was rescued. I assume this is why we never sat down to a meal, without there being 2 or 3 different types of meats and plenty of vegetables and goodies that he raised on his farm. 

Yes, Grandpa as many Veterans do, suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, commonly referred to as PTSD. This is very common among our service men and women as well as others such as myself. So you never know at what cost our Freedom has been given. 




Eugene Smith 



Special Thanks to my father, Eugene Smith for his service in the army during the Korean War and his subsquential service in Berlin, Germany.

My father was barely 18 years old when he was sent off to the Korean War. He and my mother often spoke of their adventures in Berlin, Germany during his service there. It wasn't until my Mother had passed did he speak to me about some of his experiences in Korea. He was a medic on the front line. His experiences are what nightmares are made of.


Special Salute to the spouses and families that are left behind


Lest we forget the ones that are keeping the home fires burning. My Grandmother Miller had 4 children to care for while my Grandfather was away. My parents did not have my brother and I until they were out of the service. However, my first husband was Military and we had two small children at home. At one point in time, he went to Officer's candidate school, which left me alone for several months with a small baby and a 3 year old. I was working full time and my dear Grandmother was terminally ill with cancer. I managed, but I have no clue how my Grandmother managed with 4 children, while Grandpa was in Germany.  I personally salute the spouses that are at home waiting patiently for their loved ones to return. 

Please remember to honor our Veterans as they and their families endure so much to give our country something so precious, Our Freedom.

There is a great need for addiction treatment among ou Military and Veterans. That is why Drug Rehab USA has created a resource that allows Veterans and Military personnel to locate rehabs that accept TRICARE Military Insurance.

TRICARE is a health program for the Uniformed Service members and their families. Many addiction treatment facilities accept TRICARE Military Insurance for substance use disorders.

Drug Rehab US.org created a Free Rehab Directory that uses location technology to display addiction treatment near you for treatment centers that accept military insurance TRICARE.

The data in this directory comes from Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator by SAMSHA. Feedback from users of their addiction treatment directory convinced Drug Rehab USA that we need to create a user friendly substance use disorder directory

Their Mission: To reduce the impact of substance abuse by helping our military active duty and veterans locate proper treatment.
