Veterans need our help


What would you do for a loved one? What if that loved one was in the military? How about if they had post-traumatic stress disorder but they aren't getting any help? What would you do for them? Why not fight to get them help? Help out those soldiers who don't get any treatment or help when they are affected by PTSD.

If you don't know, PTSD is a mental disorder that is triggered by a terrifying event. Symptoms can be anything from flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety to uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

Join the cause to raise awareness at how few soldiers really get help. Help groups like Disabled American Veterans to raise money and support for those who need it. Help us out by liking our Facebook page (PTSD and Returning Veterans), follow us on Twitter (@MHBforSoldiers), donate money or items to different groups around the valley, and help out any veteran who may need it. Do something good for your country without leaving. Fight for a good cause without doing harm. Uncle Sam is calling upon you to do the right thing and help out those who fought for you freedom.
