Join us on Operation Insight as we host Petty Officer Second Class Don Luney and Dr. Julie Smith of Re-Emerge!
After a decade of service in the Navy, PO2 Luney's story was not that different from other veterans. He suffered from chronic joint pain and debilitating migraines. Beyond that, Don was eager to rediscover the camaraderie he had enjoyed as a Sailor. Ultimately, Don just wanted to feel better! The VA's proposed solutions didn't work for Don until they eventually suggested something else to him. That something else was Re-Emerge! Their mission of providing full-body fitness training to veterans (absolutely free of charge, by the way) was exactly what Don was seeking.
Similarly, Julie Smith was in search of something. Her identity as an athlete ended with her collegiate career, but she didn't want to give up her passion for health and fitness. That was especially true after her mother tragically succumbed to melanoma. "I wish I would have known how to take care of myself when it mattered," is what Julie's cancer-stricken mother uttered in an especially vulnerable moment. After her mother's passing, Julie took that hurt and that grief and transformed it into action! Now, Julie serves as a physical therapist, a health coach, and even a self-help and wellness podcast host with her friend Dr. Angela "Ang" Bleecher! For Julie, the advocacy and emphasis on a healthy mind, body, and spirit is what led her to Re-Emerge!
Operation Insight is proud to help promote the mission and purpose of Re-Emerge! If you are a disabled veteran in need of a personalized fitness, mental health, and nutrition program, you are encouraged to reach out to the awesome folks at Re-Emerge (https://www.re-emerge.org/). Additionally, you are cordially invited to sign up for their upcoming golf tournament fundraiser (https://manager.gallusgolf.com/Register/68257/re-emerge-golf-tournament). The team scramble formatted tournament will take place on Monday, October 20th, at the Fort Woods Golf Course in Troy, MO. They hope to see you there! Remember, the world needs you, and you deserve to live your life to the fullest!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
