Resurrecting Lives Foundation is a veterans 501c3 non-profit organization advocating for veterans’ health care, education, and employment opportunities to guarantee a successful transition from military to civilian life
Resurrecting Lives Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on raising awareness for the consequences of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and advocating for suicide prevention strategies among veterans, announced today it will host a public press event on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 10 a.m. to officially unveil the powerful new Book “Guarding Our Guardians: Guaranteeing America’s Veterans a Future from Deployment to Employment.”
The manuscript is a powerful call to action for the civilian world to actively participate in the future of our nation’s veterans.
The event will take place at the front steps of the Liberty Station Command Center, at 2640 Historic Decatur Rd, San Diego, CA 92106.
Authored by Resurrecting Lives Foundation Founder Chrisanne Gordon, MD with Ezra Byer, in collaboration with Advantage Books, formerly FORBES, “Guarding Our Guardians” is more than a book; it is a call-to-action requesting community leaders, employers, healthcare systems and citizens across the country to unite in providing a smoother transition while securing a stronger, more supported future for the men and women who have served. Dr. Gordon specializes in coordinating medical care for Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), the signature wound of the Global War on Terror (GWOT) and has been collaborating for suicide prevention since Veterans Day 2021, with retired USN Chief, Joe Pisano of Pisano Artistry at Liberty Station.
In the book Dr. Gordon explains the crisis affecting America’s returning warriors. Experts in the fields of the military, medicine, education, and employment reveal what we must change to keep our national promise of life, liberty, and happiness to those who volunteered their lives for ours. Drawing from years of medical experience and her own recovery from brain injury, she shares powerful stories and practical solutions that unite healthcare, education and employment systems to support every veteran’s recovery.
“When our nation’s Guardians return home, their mission should be over but for too many the battle is just beginning,” said Chrisanne Gordon, MD, founder of Resurrecting Lives Foundation. “Traumatic Brain Injuries, Post-Traumatic Stress and systemic barriers keep them from the care, community integration, and the promised future they’ve earned. This is just one of the reasons we’re honored to partner with the City of San Diego and support our veterans across the county and the nation.”
In addition to USN Chief Joe Pisano, the event will bring together veterans, military families, nonprofit leaders, healthcare advocates, business leaders and members of the media to discuss the urgent brain health challenges facing veterans and the measurable social and economic impact. The one-hour press event will introduce the Wings of Sacrifice companion art piece for the manuscript and will include a book signing. The proclamation will recognize the need for stronger national support to help veterans – especially those with TBI – successfully transition to civilian life and calls on communities and institutions to honor and support these “Guardians” by improving access to healthcare, education, and employment pathways.
