Jason has 142 acting credits for movies; 7 of those will be released soon.

Bert Berkley turned 100 years old a few months ago.
He served in the United States Army during World War II, then the U.S. Army Reserves.
Shortly after graduation from Harvard Business School, he was called back to active duty - at the height of the Korean War.
Bert served an additional 17 months, 11 of those in Korea. As a first lieutenant in the infantry, he led his platoon on harrowing night patrols.
He swore if he made it home safely, he would live a life of service.
And, he did. Bert has worked diligently to make a difference in Kansas City, and beyond. His philanthropy and leadership is seen in countless charitable endeavors, serving in leadership roles in numerous nonprofit and industry-related organizations.
In 2008, he co-authored the book, 'Giving Back: Connecting You, Business and Community.'

#WomenYouShouldKnow
Affixed to Lou Eisenbrandt's car, is a Vietnam veterans license plate. When her spouse is with her, people assume he is the military veteran.
Lou is the veteran who served in the war, not her spouse.
She suffers with Parkinson's disease from exposure to Agent Orange during her service in the United States Army's 91st Evacuation Hospital in Chu Lai, Vietnam. She was an emergency nurse from 1969 to 1970 - the height of the war.
She was exposed to Agent Orange while cutting fatigues off wounded soldiers; their clothing was coated with the herbicide.
Lou recounts her evocative experiences in her book, "Vietnam Nurse: Mending & Remembering" (Deeds Publishing).
She was honored with an award from the Military Writers Society of America.
And, she has written a new book, "Unsteady As She Goes", about battling Parkinson's disease after Vietnam.
Women are military veterans, too.

November 11 is a day each year to honor American military veterans.
Some veterans need help, and Veterans Community Project can assist.
"VCP is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization serving homeless and at-risk veterans with tiny homes, wrap-around support services, and emergency assistance."
I made this photograph at the Tiny Homes Village at Veterans Community Project in Kansas City, Missouri. Military veterans there were formerly homeless, and suffering with PTSD.
