On Tuesday, May 12th, we Debut more than a book -
We launch a National Movement.
PROBLEM:
The civilian world has 99% of the resources in health care, education, and employment. Together, we must utilize these to develop futures for the 1% who volunteer to serve in our military.
And when they RETURN?
Our Guardians face a system that is fragmented, confused, and too often failing them in:
Healthcare, Education and Employment
“Caring for veterans is not charity; it is an obligation of citizenship”
-David J. Shulkin, MD
Nineth Secretary, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
THE SHIFT:
It is time to move beyond "Thank you for your service." Now is the time to demonstrate that gratitude for the sacrifices made.
We are calling them what they are: GUARDIANS
Guardians of our freedom
Guardians of our nation
Guardians of our way of life
AND NOW - it is time to Guard Our Guardians.
Guarding Our Guardians: Guaranteeing America’s Veterans a Future from Deployment to Employment
The book is not a commentary, but rather a blueprint for action.
Let's create that grassroots effort together.

Resurrect a Hero. Strengthen a Nation
About The Book
When our nation’s Guardians return home, their mission should be over—but for too many, the battle is just beginning. Traumatic Brain Injuries, Post-Traumatic Stress, and systemic barriers keep them from the care, community, and the promised future they’ve earned.
In Guarding Our Guardians, physician and veteran advocate Chrisanne Gordon, MD, exposes the hidden crisis affecting America’s returning warriors and reveals what must change to keep our national promise. Drawing from years of medical experience and advocacy, she shares powerful stories and practical solutions that unite healthcare, education, and employment systems to support every veteran’s recovery.
This is more than a book—it’s a call to action for citizens, leaders, and communities to step forward together. Because when we guard those who once guarded us, we protect not only their future, but the strength and future of our nation itself.

New Book "Guarding Our Guardians"
TURN THE LIGHTS ON!
A Physician’s Personal Journey from the Darkness of
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) to Hope, Healing, and Recovery
About The Book
“I truly believe Dr. Gordon has cracked the code on TBI. This book is going to save millions of lives…”
- Jonathan Wells, J. Wells Media Group
“This book is a rare work and insight into an injured physician’s mind and emotional struggle that must be read by all medical workers and patients suffering from brain injury and concussions.”
- Gerald Dieter Griffin, PharmD, MD, FACFE, Brigadier General, MC, USA, Retired
“A captivating journey into the world of TBI’s from the perspective of a physician and TBI sufferer. A must read for anyone with TBI, those connected to someone who have it, and equally important for anyone in human resources to understand the challenges of a TBI sufferer in the workplace.”
- Tim A. Garrett, Retired CHRO, Honda of America Mfg., Inc.
Often misdiagnosed and misunderstood, traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be a life-altering event which can produce a wide range of symptoms affecting physical as well as psychological health. Indeed, all senses can be affected, especially sight and sound, producing errors in judgment, loss of memory, and difficulty processing information.
Now, a physician shares her personal journey with TBI after suffering a life-changing accident. In this touching and informative book, Dr. Chrisanne Gordon chronicles her struggles, the high points as well as the lows, as she is challenged to make sense of what happened and realizes that her medical training did not prepare her for these struggles. With intimate detail, she explains what it is like to have mTBI, how it affected her life, and what was needed for healing and recovery.
Perhaps, most importantly, Turn the Lights On! is a beacon of hope and understanding for anyone who has experienced a mild traumatic brain injury or concussion, and a guide for their loved ones, caregivers, and health care providers who assist with their recovery.
