In a world where there are statistics for everything, how do you keep from becoming another statistic? In the military we have many statistics, some of which you can not afford. But what if you can afford some of them? What keeps you from getting suicidal? What keeps your marriage going? What keeps your PTSD from taking over all your life? What statistic do you not want to be apart of? How can we help each other?

I am grateful for the compensation from the VA, but I can't become one of the veterans who accepts to stay at home and draw compensation when I have the ability to continue to serve, even if in a much more limited capacity. I am desperate to work with recently separated veterans who are dealing with the difficulties transitioning to civilian life as well as overcoming physical disabilities.

What keeps me going and not becoming a statistic is my family. The warmth of my wife's hand as she holds my hand. The huge smile on my 2 yr old daughters face when I pick her up from daycare.
