I would like to create a National Post Traumatic Stress Syndrom (PTSD) Awareness Week

Created by J.S. on March 20, 2013

I would like to create a national PTSD Awareness week. I myself have not been in the military but I have been involved in the Military life for all of mine. I am a military brat. I have seen what this disease can do to people who do not get the proper help. My father was diagnosed with PTSD after three tours in Iraq. I have seen how it changed him. From being more secluded in the house to not wanting to go to strange place he didn’t know. Since he started getting help I see the old out going dad coming back. It is a slow process but it is working. I want to help get the word out to the service members and their families that they are not alone in this fight. There are people out there who care. We can all help but we need more people involved. Thank You for helping.
