    This is an important issue that needs to be brought to the forefront. Everyone in this country should be aware of PTSD, its causes and what a veteran goes through when he or she has it. The VA needs to increase its doctors who are knowledgeable about PTSD also and require all volunteers and employees to attend an orientation about PTSD!

    I live with complex PTSD. More awareness is key. Even after being in treatment for 15 years, at the end of last year, I almost took my life over the since of despair and hopelessness I can feel at times.

    Many Marines and Soldiers are coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq with PTSD. They don't know what is happening to them and their families don't know how to deal with it.

    This is a very serious issue that all Americans should be willing to join in and support our brave soldiers and their families who sacrifice so much for us.

    PTSD is just as traumatic as physical wounds, but you can't see the scars. people need to be made aware of what it is and what to watch for.

    I wrote a book called broken patriot will be out in the spring. After my child got beat for two hours 47 min. at a public school I seen them suffer with post might stress syndrome for 10 years five it was suicide watch. I was inflicted with it myself as he had two strokes in my arms at the hospital. I was also responsible for the first bully and harassment bill in public schools state of Florida on my testimony. Please visit my website www.bobbie bean.com look at bean family story. See what we went through by trying to find truth of what happened. But this post medic stress syndrome of these young soldiers is an infliction for life. My son was 14 when he got it according to Shannon's hospital is equivalent to a Vietnam vet in intense battle it happen in public school even as he fought for his life the local sheriff department in Florida law enforcement in teachers Back information I'm sure had to do with the election the book will be my justice I also ran for United States Senate seat as you will see to better help our children and our soldiers and clean up corruption in our judicial system law enforcement and education using the President of the United States ran for me a yellow streak right up his back might sound like harsh words what everybody ran or retaliated to my family and our local area so please read my book the broken patriot
