IJCH - Inside JaiChai's Head (Meaning: My Warped, Personal Opinions and Musings)
From the Author:
Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance now.
I invite you to interact with everyone, learn, and have as much fun as possible!
For my returning online friends, "It's always great to see you again!"
Oorah! "UNTIL it HURTS" Artwork and Hooyah! - "Wounded Warrior Wear"
What is OOrah and Hooyah?
Oorah is a battle cry common in the United States Marine Corps since the mid-20th century.
It is comparable to Hooah in the United States Army and the United States Air Force, and Hooyah in the United States Navy.
Where were you when 9/11 struck?
I was in Japan when 9/11 happened.
My wife (at the time) called me out of the shower and said that I really need to look at the television.
To be honest, I thought I was watching a movie!
It was just too surreal to fathom!
Yokosuka Navy Base was immediately locked down and my unit was put on alert, and we deployed within hours.
"UNTIL it HURTS"
Published on Oct 21, 2015
...Is a visually alluring tale on the heart of our special force, that takes the viewer back to the 9/11 terror attacks on America.
Through the perspective of a retired Navy SEAL Sniper, as he guides you through the art creation of UNTIL it HURTS and how the art is helping Americans heal.
UNTIL it HURTS brings you the incredible message of honor, sacrifice and hope from the heart of our American warriors.
As well as bringing awareness to our great losses during the attacks of 9/11 and thirteen years of war.
Along the way you will meet a young teen striving to become a Navy SEAL, a retired New York police officer paying tribute to his friends he lost in the towers, the artist that created the art piece UNTIL it HURTS, the to civilians that purchase it and a wounded SEAL warrior that is giving back.
Whether civilian or military, you will be moved by this documentary.
It brought tears to my eyes several times.
I highly recommend viewing it.

About the Author
Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, long term girlfriend and three dogs.
