Meet Your Host
Todd Dorris is originally from New Mexico and served in the Navy (7 years), Army (8 years), and Homeland Security (12 years). He has a BA in Psychology from Manhattan College, and was a residential counselor at Green Chimneys for 6 years.
Todd has been with Guardian Revival for 4 years, guiding trips for Another Summit before becoming the Program Coordinator for Putnam County Dwyer Vet2Vet, administered by Guardian Revival.
PFC Dwyer Vet2Vet Program
The Putnam County Veterans Service Agency PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Vet2Vet (Veterans’ Peer Services Project) provides services such as support groups, social activities, helping Vets get their benefit claims back on track, advise them on how to access their education benefits, and much more.
Joseph P. Dwyer was an Army Medic whose face was well known as a result of a photo that was published of him carrying a young, injured Iraqi boy during a battle on March 25, 2003. Army Times photographer Warren Zinn saw the situation unfold and clicked away as Dwyer met the boy’s father — who carried a white flag and his injured son to the soldier, eventually bringing the 4-year-old to safety. Dwyer suffered from severe PTSD and died at age 31 from an overdose on June 28, 2008.
