Let’s Help Our Veterans – Especially Those Whose Battle Is Not Over

It’s difficult to give our veterans all the thanks and care they deserve. And those who return from war with physical and invisible wounds especially need our support.

This video is a compelling example of the effects of PTSD and I wanted to share it to help create awareness and offer my humble support.

Bringing visibility to the issues veterans face helps spread the compassion for their needs, but they also need positive messages and encouragement.

I ask that all of you join me spreading the word by sharing this powerful video to create more compassion for those suffering with PTSD.

I also want to give a big shout out to the amazing therapy dogs and those who care enough to train them. Your effort does not go unnoticed!
