Military Appreciation Day (MAD) is an interactive event that highlights the community support for our local military members, including Active Duty, National Guard Reservists, Retirees,
and their families. MAD is the largest event of its kind in Kitsap County and event planners hope to surpass the 3,500 that attended MAD in previous years.
This year’s Information Fair & Carnival will include games, prizes, military displays, and information on the duties performed by our area service members, as well as inflatables for
the kids. Kitsap Chamber encourages vendors to create their booths to show support for our Military Community.

FORWARD MARCH: The Navy's history in the Pacific Northwest began in the early 1890s, when the Navy purchased 190 acres of wilderness and established it as Naval Station Puget Sound –
Bremerton. Navy Region Northwest was originally established as the Thirteenth Naval District on May 7, 1903. The Thirteenth Naval District was renamed Naval Base Seattle in 1980 and
subsequently renamed Navy Region Northwest in February 1999. The Navy is the largest employer in Kitsap County by nearly 17,500 daily workers.

Committed to supporting critical services for our nation’s wounded warriors and their families including transitional housing assistance and post-traumatic stress treatment. The Blue
Angels Foundation’s mission is to support wounded veterans. The wounded veterans who proudly volunteered to serve our nation and preserve our freedoms are the same people today who
need our time, treasure and talents to provide a path of transition back to the civilian community and a life of dignity and fulfilment. Thanks to you, each year we are expanding our
footprint and impact in critical areas facing the wounded veteran and their family through our association with key benefactors around the nation. We have identified and are supporting
organizations that assist veterans in key areas: transitional housing, counseling, PTSD resolution, permanent housing, life skills, transportation and employment.

Health & Science University (OHSU) are academic affiliates of NW MIRECC. The mission of NW MIRECC is to improve the quality of life and function of Veterans by developing, evaluating,
and promoting the implementation of effective treatments for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its complex comorbidities. PTSD comorbidities include the behavioral consequences
of repetitive blast mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), chronic pain (in particular, post-concussive headaches), cognitive impairment, and increased risk
for neurodegenerative disorders (chronic traumatic encephalopathy [CTE] and Alzheimer’s disease [AD]).

VA MIRECC's provide for the improvement of the provision of health-care services and related counseling services to eligible veterans suffering from mental illness (especially mental
illness related to service-related conditions) through—
* the conduct of research (including research on improving mental health service facilities of the Department and on improving the delivery of mental health services by the Department);
* the education and training of health care personnel of the Department; and
* the development of improved models and systems for the furnishing of mental health services by the Department.
As part of the VISN 20 NW MIRECC mission to enhance access to mental health expertise, the NW MIRECC collaborates and consults with other MIRECCs and Centers of Excellence, as well as
with other VA, Department of Defense (DoD), Federal, State departments of Veterans Affairs, community agencies, and experts. The close geographic proximity (40 miles) of DoD Joint Base
Lewis-McChord/Madigan Army Medical Center to VAPSHCS has provided an exciting opportunity to develop innovative and productive research, education, and clinical care collaborations
with DoD personnel that address PTSD and its associated conditions in their early stages in active-duty Servicemembers.

. NW MIRECC research studies significantly contribute to advancements in our understanding of medical problems that lead to health improvements for Veterans and civilians alike. NW
MIRECC studies are conducted through clinical research and through translational research wherein teams of clinicians and scientists work side-by-side to characterize and model key
features of clinical problems and then translate the findings from scientific theory or animal models into practical applications for Veterans. NW MIRECC brings together complementary
research, education, and clinical programs from VAPSHCS and VAPORHCS. The collaborative approach to mental health research, education and treatment has had a profound impact on the
lives of Veterans.
