The Hudson Union Society™ www.hudsonunionsociety.com is where todays leaders come to discuss tomorrows ideas. If you live not to far from New York, please join us in person. Senator Max Cleleand is considered to be one of America's most famous patriots. Max Cleland grew up on a Georgia farm, was shipped off to Vietnam - where he was blown up and became a triple amputee. Through willpower he fights death and depression. The President of the United States recognizes his courage and service and nominates him to head up the Veterans Administration, and he is confirmed. And later he becomes Georgia's youngest Senator. But his success is short-lived: he must learn to manage the scars left by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Then, he is tarred in ads as unpatriotic: and loses his reelection battle. The underhanded defeat pushes him to the brink of despair. Thirty years after Vietnam, he returns to Walter Reed, where his endurance, courage, and faith teach him about the deepest wounds of war and how to heal himself. President Obama appointed Max Cleland as Secretary of the American Battle Monuments Commission.
