I have post-traumatic stress disorder and I’ve never been to war. The soldiers coming back also have it.

The government let them go to war, now they need to let them come back. The government needs to help before it’s too late. I’m very fortunate my insurance covers all my treatments and medications, but some of these men and women are being left only to fight a mental war of their own right here at home.

We need to do all in our power to help these men and women lead the fullfilling lives they led before they left. They fought for us, now we need to fight for them. They gave us our freedom now we need to give them back theirs.
