SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4 News) – A former Green Beret and Salt Lake City resident has a message from his time in Combat and he has written a book about it.
Jason Van Camp was at the trolley square for a book signing. the book is called “Deliberate Discomfort, How U.S. Special Operations Forces overcome fear and dare to win by getting comfortable being uncomfortable.”
Van camp said, “it’s not about yourself. It’s about people to your left and to your right. It’s about overcoming your own fears, and your own adversity. Your comfort zone, your safe space, in and of itself, it’s a good thing. But in order to succeed you have to get out of that comfort zone that safe space you have to get out of that comfort zone as quick as you possibly can.”
He added that discomfort is not negative, he says it is positive. His book comes out next week.

Veterans Day falls on Monday this year, marking 101 years since the end of World War I. On that day, the allies signed a treaty with Germany, officially bringing the war to an end. All fighting stopped on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Events and ceremonies will be taking place around Chicago to honor all those who have served in the armed forces. Here’s a roundup of what’s going on this weekend so you can honor the veterans in your own way.
Chicago Veteran’s Day ceremony
The City of Chicago will honor veterans with a ceremony Monday at 10 a.m. at Solider Field, which was named as such at the request of Gold Star Mothers who wanted to honor the men who lost their lives during World War I. The event is free to all.
Brigadier General Kris A. Belanger, 85th Army Reserve Support Command, will deliver the keynote address.
Free public parking is available at the Waldron Parking Deck. Take the exit at 18th Street from Lake Shore Drive to access it.
UIC flag ceremony
The University of Illinois’ Chicago campus will celebrate the veterans on campus with a flag rising ceremony outside of Student Center East, 750 S. Halsted St., at 10 a.m. There will also be a reception immediately following in Room 713 of the student center.
Facets Cinémathèque
In honor of Veteran’s Day, the Facets Cinémathèque will screen “Homemade,” a new documentary following a veteran who’s come home and dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Decorated Force Reconnaissance Marine Adam Sorensen returns home to his family with a brain injury, and though he says he feels okay at first, he’s not quite the same. The documentary follows Sorensen and his family over the course of seven years as he battles PTSD and addiction.
Following the show, local veteran’s advocacy and support groups and addition specialists will host a panel discussion and take questions from the audience.
Shedd Aquarium
Want to pet sturgeon and coo over otters this weekend? The Shedd Aquarium is open and free through Monday to veterans starting on Saturday. Military members will need to show an I.D. at the door to receive free admission.

Homemade Movie (Chicago Sun Times)
CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — A new documentary screening on Veterans Day at a Lincoln Park theater shows one U.S. Marine’s struggles after military service.
“Homemade” follows a highly-decorated special operations Marine for six-and-a-half years as he deals with injuries from an improvised explosive device.
Filmmaker Jason Maris, who was born and raised in west suburban Wheaton, met Adam Sorensen through Maris’ connections working with the Marine Corps to provide images for recruitment.
Sorensen dealt with addiction, a suicide attempt and a stint in a military prison after suffering a traumatic brain injury from the blast in 2010 while serving in Afghanistan.
Maris worked together with his wife on the 90 minute film, in which Sorensen gave them a very intimate look at a dark time in his life.
About three years into the filming, Maris told the U.S. Defense Department what he was doing.
He said a general told him they never would have allowed him to make the movie but knowing Maris’ connection and empathy for the Marine Corps, they saw the value in it.
Not only that, Maris said the Marines are using it in their commanders’ course to show where the Corps failed Sorensen.
Maris and Sorensen will lead a panel discussion after the 7 p.m. screening of “Homemade” at Facets in Lincoln Park.
