A lot of Servicemembers and Veterans are having a tough time with PTS and/or TBI. It's not just the "young" ones, many Senior (age and position) folks are too. We need to fully embrace these issues and de-stigmatize someone reaching out for help. 22 (or even 1) Servicemembers/Veterans killing themselves every day is too high a price to pay to stay silent about this. Step up and ask for help, or step up and reach out to someone in trouble - do not let this enemy win because of false pride or unjustified shame.

To all my family, friends, colleagues and those who support Veterans and others with PTS - watch this clip, and see why I came to K9s For Warriors. My new best buddy, Freedom, has already started changing my life.

I know a guy in SC that has one of these dogs. At first I was wondering what a dog can do to help but when I saw his anxiety level rise the dog took over and calmed him down quickly. I though that it was amazing.
