Dan's on Blogtalk Radio for the 2nd Time Monday Night!

Last Monday Dan provided the listening audience with a great program about the 2nd Amendment and Veterans right's. He talked about his efforts to help wounded warriors confront their deepest fears and how they learned to rejoin the world they felt separated from.


He had house guests, Torrey and Dan Shannon, who gave Dan a glowing testimonial. Dan Shannon was an Army Sniper who lost his eye in Afghanistan, that Dan met at Walter Reed Hospital during his recovery.


Torrie and Daniel Shannon were responsible for bringing to the attention of Congressional leaders, the horrid out patient conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. You can read Staff Sargent John Daniel Shannon's testimony here.

Torrie recounted her experiences with trying to help her husband and other troops cope with traumatic brain injuries at a facility that was becoming notorious for its mistreatment of men and women coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. She also needed counseling herself and told about the poor treatment many families received from their mental health counseling.

She was treated for a time by the now infamous Dr.Nidal Hasan, the accused assassin of 12 individuals at Fort Hood, Texas. She said he was a cold, unfeeling person who didn't seem to like women much. She was shocked when they reported he was the shooter in Texas. 

Be sure to catch Dan on BlogTalk Radio again, Monday night at 8:00 p.m. central time, on the Patriots Heart program. If you want to call in and ask questions the number is ( 347) 215-6929. Nick Popaditch, another Marine running for office will also be a guest.
