411 – Mission Vigilant – A Mother’s Story
- 411 – Mission Vigilant – A Mother’s Story Oscar Mike Radio 58:43
This is a different kind of conversation. My guests and I talk about suicide in a very personal way. You will understand that a mother’s pain is only outmatched by a love that can’t be described. However, Susan Cleland has done just that in her book, “Mission Vigilant”.
As I talked with Susan Cleland, Sherye Greene, and Karen White from Mission Vigilant I realized we rarely hear about what happens to those left behind because of PTSD. Susan shared the tragic story of her son Michael, an Air Force veteran who took his own life. Sherry, a writer, and Susan’s friend collaborated on “Mission Vigilant about Michael’s story.
Karen, a counselor to Susan, and now involved with the outreach by Mission Vigilant, discussed the importance of faith and community support in healing. Susan’s faith is an important part of her story, and I appreciated how candid she was about how her faith in God helped her and her family.
The conversation emphasized the significance of seeking help, especially for men, and highlighted Mission Vigilant’s efforts to provide free counseling for military members, their families, and first responders.

Thank you, Susan, Sherye, and Karen, for sharing with us and showing that hope can be found in the darkest situations.
