<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 2, 2013) A new program from SUNY Oswego is looking to train people who work with Fort Drum&apos;s soldiers in the basics of mental health and counseling. It&apos;s starting with a course that&apos;s being taught right now at Fort Drum, &quot;Trauma management and stewardship.&quot; Fort Drum is home to the 10th Mountain Division, one of the most heavily deployed units in the US. When those soldiers return home from overseas, they can suffer from a range of physical and mental problems connected to their service, like post-traumatic stress disorder, mental issues associated with bodily injuries, and traumatic brain injuries.

<title>Mohawks seek recognition for WWII code talkers</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19457/20120308/mohawks-seek-recognition-for-wwii-code-talkers</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 8, 2012) A Mohawk veterans group wants the federal government to recognize the contributions of “code talkers” during the D-Day invasion of Europe during World War Two.   The Navajo “code talkers” were the largest group of Native Americans during the 1940’s to use their language skills in the south Pacific against the Japanese.  Jeffrey Whelan, a member of the St. Regis Mohawk Veterans Affairs Committee, says many other tribes participated as &quot;code talkers&quot; during the war.  He says the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Council has sent a letter of request to the U.S. Mint to develop a Congressional Medal for nine veterans at Akwesasne who used their native language to confuse the Germans.

<title>AG settles Watertown soldier scam</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18215/20110817/ag-settles-watertown-soldier-scam</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 17, 2011) New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was in Watertown yesterday to announce a $3.5 million settlement in a scam targeting soldiers with the sale of electronics. Soldiers who still owe money to the company will be relieved of their debts and have their credit histories repaired. But those who already paid lost thousands of dollars to the scam. About 1,000 soldiers were affected.  Joanna Richards was there and has this report.
