Jess,on left, at Omaha Beach
This project has put us in the touch with some astounding people and Jess Weiss is among the most exceptional of those amazing individuals we have had the privilege of meeting. We would like to introduce our fans and supporters to this incredible man, his story and his work.
Jess is part of what our society has coined, "The Greatest Generation". Born during "The Great War", Jess survived the depression only to be faced with horrors of World War II. He served with the First Infantry Division, The Big Red One and was part of the second wave landing of D-Day on Omaha Beach, June 6th, 1944. Wounded in combat during the Battle of the Siegfried Line in Germany, Jess received a Silver Star, a Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster for heroism for his actions on Omaha Beach, in addition to his Purple Heart. Jess Weiss is a true hero of his generation and one of the few left from this poignant time in history.
After his courageous service to this nation, he became the first National Service Director for the American Veterans Committee. He also has written numerous books to include:
The Vestibule - The original groundbreaking chronicle of near-death experiences. Considered one of the earliest known collections of near-death experiences that answers the age-old question, "What happens when we die?"
Overcoming The Fear of Death & Dying - A sense of life that knows no death.
A Soldier's Journey into Mysticism - A journey from sense to the soul.

In addition to the above, he also wrote, Warrior to Spiritual Warrior: The Soldier's Story, which is what we will be showcasing in this blog and have been offering on our website. Warrior to Spiritual Warrior is an autobiography of Jess Weiss, one of the few survivors of the Omaha Beach landings. His experiences on these European battlefields are only the beginning of his amazing life story. After returning home from war, Jess found himself facing a new, more difficult battle, the inner struggle of what is now widely known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This debilitating condition was unrecognized during World War II and beyond. His fight, with this silent and unseen wound of war led him on a profound and transcendent spiritual journey, which became, Warrior to Spiritual Warrior.
Our project and foundation, The Graffiti of War, focuses on raising awareness and developing solutions to help our wounded warriors cope and heal from these silent wounds. Jess' story forges an alternative way through the jungles of our minds filled with terror, sadness, anger and survivor guilt and is why we are honored to have his book to offer our brothers and sisters-in-arms, veterans and their families. Family members and friends of our warfighters with an interest in PTSD will find this book a valuable tool in understanding the true toll of combat on our troops and their families. Warrior to Spiritual Warrior gives the reader an inside glimpse into the harsh realities of war along with a life after war look into the sufferings and revelations of what living life afflicted with PTSD is like. We encourage everyone to grab a copy of this amazing, true tale of a 20th century hero and the real-life struggles of what our warfighters endure when the guns, silent on the outside, continue to echo within.
