00:02.920 --> 00:04.160
- [Narrator] Soldiers who attended

00:04.160 --> 00:07.690
the 2018 Resilient Living
Day event at Camp Zama

00:07.690 --> 00:09.760
each received a new passport,

00:09.760 --> 00:11.400
a passport to life.

00:11.400 --> 00:13.340
But these passports aren't
the kind that can be

00:13.340 --> 00:15.130
used to travel abroad.

00:15.130 --> 00:16.600
So, what are they?

00:16.600 --> 00:17.433
- What it is,

00:17.433 --> 00:19.750
is mimic a passport.

00:19.750 --> 00:22.190
So, say for instance, you
need a passport to move

00:22.190 --> 00:23.550
from country to country.

00:23.550 --> 00:25.850
Well, we want to make
sure that this passport

00:25.850 --> 00:29.510
that we're mimicking have
those life saving agencies.

00:29.510 --> 00:32.020
And so, when people come,
they're able to visit

00:32.020 --> 00:33.530
all these resource tables,

00:33.530 --> 00:35.950
and make those touch
points, those connections.

00:35.950 --> 00:38.210
- [Announcer] Those resources
included various seminars

00:38.210 --> 00:42.015
intended to enhance spiritual,
financial, professional,

00:42.015 --> 00:44.520
physical, and mental health.

00:44.520 --> 00:47.740
The key, says Christine
Coller, is insuring that we

00:47.740 --> 00:51.020
devote equal attention
to each of those areas.

00:51.020 --> 00:53.890
- So, we want to make sure
that we have a healthy balance

00:53.890 --> 00:55.260
on all things in life.

00:55.260 --> 00:57.430
- [Announcer] An important
part of staying resilient is

00:57.430 --> 01:00.920
being aware of problem of
suicide throughout the military.

01:00.920 --> 01:04.030
September is Army Suicide
Awareness Prevention Month,

01:04.030 --> 01:07.250
and the fair also offered
resources to encourage

01:07.250 --> 01:09.560
and motivate community members to build

01:09.560 --> 01:11.730
and sustain an effective support network.

01:11.730 --> 01:14.117
- The importance of
coming out to these fairs

01:14.117 --> 01:17.020
give the information that not
too many people know about.

01:17.020 --> 01:20.550
Like if you have stress
issues being away from home,

01:20.550 --> 01:22.310
I didn't know that they
had people there for that.

01:22.310 --> 01:24.670
So if I know anybody,
or myself that needs it,

01:24.670 --> 01:25.890
I can speak to them about it,

01:25.890 --> 01:28.400
and I can direct them in
the correct direction.

01:28.400 --> 01:30.470
September is Retiree Appreciation Month,

01:30.470 --> 01:32.547
so in conjunction with
the Resilience fair,

01:32.547 --> 01:35.802
the event also recognized
those who have retired

01:35.802 --> 01:37.000
from military service.

01:37.000 --> 01:41.250
- What a better example of
resiliency is our retirees.

01:41.250 --> 01:43.480
Every single one of us in uniform today

01:43.480 --> 01:46.430
aspire to be men and women
who've gone before us.

01:46.430 --> 01:47.330
Right?

01:47.330 --> 01:48.710
- [Announcer] Earlier in
the day, Colonel Phil Gage,

01:48.710 --> 01:51.000
Commander of US Army Garrison, Japan,

01:51.000 --> 01:53.530
welcomed several keynote
speakers from on and off

01:53.530 --> 01:55.640
the installation to share information

01:55.640 --> 01:58.030
and their experiences with the community.

01:58.030 --> 01:58.863
- We need your help.

01:58.863 --> 01:59.870
The Army needs your help.

01:59.870 --> 02:01.663
- [Announcer] Reporting
from Camp Zama, Japan,

02:01.663 --> 02:03.343
I'm Ayako Watsuji.
