We are trying to do something similiar
Betsy thank you for your efforts to raise awareness for our Veterans. I am not a Veteran, but my brother in law is in Iraq, my brother stationed at Norad in Colorado Springs, Father is a retired W-4 from US Army. I felt a need to give back and am operating a program in southeastern Idaho that we are calling horses healing heroes. We are doing a 25 mile ride on Antelope Island in The great Salt Lake on 18 apr. We have been trying to raise money for the program with sponsors, but we also have been contacting the media to let them know we are trying to promote more awareness that programs are needed to help Veterans with the invisible wounds of war.We are offering a program that addresses issues of PTSD, but need a licensed clinician to help with this program. If we can raise enough money to pay that person it wont be hard, but getting someone to volunteer their time has been hard. We do not make any money on this program in fact it takes alot for us to keep it going. Everyone that meets us says that they passion for this program is obvious, I know that we can make it keep going. I have seen the horses do miracle work when it comes to trauma and issues of PTSD. They are also very helpful with physical therapy which is a future plan that we have. The project is ongoing and expanding, but slowly.
I too saw the Dr. Phil show
I too saw the Dr. Phil show in December and it's how I found out about this website too.
I created the "Tai Chi for Vets" thread here in direct response to what I saw was an opportunity to get involved with helping Vets with PTSD and other anxiety driven conditions.
I will do what I can to bring more attention to your cause as well.
Hi Betsy,My brother is a
Hi Betsy,
My brother is a veteran with three deployments since 2001 to both Iraq and Afganistan. He has suffered tremendously from PTSD and I applaud your efforts to try and bring attention to this issue. The level of support from the VA is sadly lacking although they have many folks desperately trying to help veterans. They are underfunded and the level of understanding about appropriate treatment for PTSD, deployment related depression, and other mental health issues is sporadic at best. Our country owes a great debt to our veterans- we can do better. I'm hoping this site will help families and friends of veterans connect and become advocates for the brave men and women serving our country. We can help by bringing awareness to this issue and holding our representatives accountable.
You now have a contingent in GA joining you every day in March.
Thanks for the great idea and inspiration.
I am the wife of an active duty Army Reservist Drill Sgt. who is training troops who are going directly overseas. Since being on post here at Ft. Hunter-Liggett in California, I have heard many stories concerning the trauma, physical and/or mental, that the soldiers are enduring not only in training and combat, but when they try to receive medical attention. What topped off my concern was the Dr. Phil show on Dec. 19 of last year. I was pleased to find out about this website and many others because of that show. All it did was raise my awareness so that I could do something for the veterans that was in my capacity.
The reason I write this is because I have committed myself to a 5K EVERY DAY IN MARCH at noon here on post. Every one of the thirty one days I will walk Infantry Road passing all of the Army Values posted every tenth of a mile along part of the road. I will be doing this to raise awareness for sites like this who are actively helping our veterans with information and resources, other than the VA of course, to help them get what they need. I have already recruited several people to walk with me and help me carry the burden of the veterans for a short time- this is what I mean by "carry the burden." I am collecting emails from friends and family of veterans and veterans themselves about their particular stories they have to tell about their unsuccessful attempts at receiving adequate service from the VA, about their need for further help for PTSD, coping with stress or trauma, or their need for reconstructive surgery- basically, whatever they lack in getting their lives as close to their pre-war lives as possible. I will be putting all of these letters in a backpack, along with my two year old son, and carrying them in honor of all those who shared their stories with me. I am hoping to collect so many letters that everyone who walks has to carry some. That way, maybe we'll get the attention of some politicians who can help remedy these problems we seem to be having with the system that the veterans and their loved ones are paying for!!!
Please send your story to me at clemsonbetsy@bellsouth.net and I will print it out and carry it with me in your honor. Watch the news, too. I'm going to try to publicize this event as much as possible.
Thank you, sincerely, to all of you vets, and your families and friends.
