COLUMBIA FALLS, Maine — Sept. 28, 2021 — Wreaths Across America Radio is proud to announce the next episode in its series of roundtable discussions focused on veteran healing through sharing stories of resilience, purpose, and success. This discussion will take place on Thursday, October 13, 2022, at 12 PM ET, and can be heard exclusively on Wreaths Across America Radio.

The roundtable will focus on the recalibrated warrior, and how finding purpose can benefit not only in your own journey of resilience but help connect with others working to overcome similar challenges. Guest panelists – listed below – will be interviewed by Wreaths Across America’s Executive Director Karen Worcester and Director of Military and Veteran Outreach, Joe Regan, United States Army Veteran.

Guest Panelists Include:

Travis Mills, Founder and President of the Board for the Travis Mills Foundation. United States Army Staff Sergeant (ret.) Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne is a recalibrated veteran, a motivational speaker, actor, author, and advocate for veterans and amputees. He is one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive.

On April 10, 2021, Travis was critically injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) during a routine patrol in Afghanistan and spent 19 months at Walter Reed. After his recovery, Travis attended an adaptive sports camp in Colorado and realized the need for a such a place where a veteran, and their entire family could relax, reconnect, and find strength. Born out of this idea, the Travis Mills Foundation Veterans’ Retreat was founded.

Ginger Gilbert Ravella, Author, Military Wife, and Ambassador for the Gary Sinise Foundation. Ginger Gilbert Ravella is a military wife, Gold Star (widow), mother of five and stepmother of two. Her personal mission is to encourage anyone who seeks reconciliation and peace when life hurts the most and to continue to serve a nation by serving others.

Ginger works tirelessly to support and raise funds to help fallen and disabled veterans and their families. She is an international speaker and author devoted to her God, her family, and her country. She is remarried to another widower and USAF fighter pilot, Colonel (Ret) Jim Ravella, who lost his wife to breast cancer. Ginger currently resides in Nashville, Tenn., with her family.

The goal of the roundtable series is to help reduce barriers for veterans by:

· Supporting generational bonds between service veterans through stories of service and success;

· Destigmatizing issues faced by veterans and asking for help;

· Combating inaccurate perceptions of veterans by discussing the diverse experiences, challenges, and success of service members, veterans, and their families; and

· Connecting veterans with valuable resources.

“I know this is going to be a meaningful discussion,” said Karen Worcester, Executive Director, Wreaths Across America. “As everyone involved has a synergy of mission and a deep understanding of veterans’ needs and the needs of their families. We look forward to this opportunity to share these stories and the importance in addressing veterans’ healing.”

Bio

Fawn’s musical endeavors began at the age of 6 with classical piano lessons, continuing on throughout her adolescents.  At 19, Fawn attended the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA where she received a merit scholarship for excellence in music, graduating with honors earning two degrees – a Bachelor of Arts in Music and a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting.  Continually playing at local coffee houses, parties, and pubs, Fawn discovered her true calling in life.

After college, her spare time was spent writing, while she worked for 2 years at PriceWaterhouse Coopers in New York City.  But an artist at heart, she resigned from the corporate life and set out in pursuit of her dream…”Scrambled Reflections” was released on October 31, 2007 while Fawn was still at PwC.  Her second album, “Take Two”, was released in 2009 with songs like “Calling” and “Seamless” garnering her the most attention and “Santa’s a Dick”, released in 2011, the most laughs.

Currently, Fawn plays weekly at the New York City’s iconic music club, The Bitter End, the city’s oldest rock club, essential for launching the careers of many legends including Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Carol King and most recently Lady Gaga – not a bad place for a budding singer-songwriter to hang their hat.  Fawn has appeared multiple times on the country wide talk show, The Vinny Vella Show, and has been the featured artist in magazine’s such as Dejonde Magazine’s Valentines edition and PopimpressiveKA. Fawn has performed live on radio shows such as The Debra Manso Show.

Fawn’s modeling career has skyrocketed in the past year.  She is a well known Marilyn Monroe model in New York City and parts of France.  Recently, Fawn is in the works of landing a modeling campaign for Daniel’s Jewelers, a high end Jewelery store located in the heart of Manhattan’s Diamond District.

Currently working on her 3rd LP, with award winning producers, such as Rob Fraboni (Producer of the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese’s film “The Last Waltz” and Producer for the timeless band, The Rolling Stones) and Richie Corsello (Producer for Sonny Rolands).  Fawn is also writing musical scores for TV and Film with the well known songwriter, Askold Buk.  Additionally, Fawn continues to put out singles with Karen Thornton, The Mtp Music Group and Stefan Moessle, Secret Sounds Inc.  Fawn was also a front runner for the famous food chain’s, Bareburger’s, jingle search.  Fawn is excited to put her new material to work.
