A crowd of about 50 people endured the chilly morning air to hear Jeff Heiser honor Veterans at the Baker County Courthouse Tuesday morning.
Heiser, 57, is a Navy veteran who has devoted 13 years of his life to active and reserve military service.
He traveled from his fair weather home in Florida to speak about post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), suicide and addiction among veterans.
Since his arrival last week, Heiser has given 13 presentations to Eastern Oregonians.
