JON S. CORZINEGovernorNEIL VAN ESSActing ChairmanNovember 2008MARY LOU POWNERExecutive DirectorTo Our Veterans and Military Families:The Governor's Council on Alcoholism and DrugAbuse (GCADA) is honored to dedicate this ResourceDirectory to all the brave men and women of New Jersey whohave served in the US Armed Forces in defense of our freedom. The War on Terrorism, since its start in 2001, has reliedupon our citizen soldiers, National Guard and Reserve Units,in addition to active service personnel.The continuing personal and family sacrifices in service to our nation involve long periods of deployment to thewar zone leaving many military families isolated and confused. All of these difficulties, as well as the combat experience itself, can cause both visible and invisible wounds forveterans and their families. In the past several years theGCADA saw one of its members, Sgt. Cynthia Carlucci, fromthe New Jersey National Guard, deployed to Afghanistan.Then there is Danielle Lanik, daughter of GCADA memberMaryann Barkus, the designee from Department ofCommunity Affairs, who shared first hand the sacrifices madeby her family when her reservist husband was activated foractive duty. He has served two tours of duty in Iraq.i

Several GCADA members are veterans themselvesand keenly aware of the price paid by service personnel andtheir families. In this current war, the impact we are seeing isdifferent from past experiences in that our citizen soldier families live in our neighborhoods and their kids attend ourschools. In an effort to respond to our military members andtheir families the GCADA formed a Veterans Committee in2007 to explore ways the Council and the Alliance PreventionNetwork might assist these families, our neighbors.This directory would not have been possible withoutthe commitment of all the committee members and the determined work of GCADA staff, in particular Executive DirectorMary Lou Powner and Nick Petrozzino, Senior Planner, whois a fellow Vietnam veteran. The Veteran's Committeeacknowledges the genuine and long standing support given byGovernor Jon Corzine to New Jersey's active, guard, reservistand veteran military service personnel and their families.I have served on the GCADA for nearly two decadesand have always been proud of the leadership it has given toits grassroots prevention network, the Alliance Program, since1990. However, as a combat wounded Vietnam veteran and aNational Inspector for the Military Order of Purple Heart, mypride in the GCADA has grown to a new level knowing that itcares enough to reach out and find a way to help today'sheroes, our military service personnel and their families, whoare paying the price for our nation's freedom, security andcomfort.Sincerely yours,Neil Van Ess, Acting Chairmani-i
