Wow, every hour!!?? I agree, our veterans should have more support than they get. I know people with ptsd, Vietnam veterans who still can't sleep through the night.

Those chicken fries are probably loaded with salt,don't think I'll be bothering with them lol....It's a disgrace how some of our vets are treated,the current administration plays a big part in that but I won't go into that any farther here.I will say this though,any serviceman who is injured and disabled due to their service should automatically have their care paid for by the government.It's a small drop compared to all the money that it wastes all over the world.

Yeah we are losing 22 vets per day to suicide. One of the big problems we face is that ptsd tends to make people isolate. The isolation leads to increased depression, and that leads to bad things.

Ptsd is to veterans what concussions and cte is to the NFL. It's real not no one wants to bring it to light because of societal pressure to be tough and a man.

Yeah thats part of the reason behind the weekly walks I do on Fridays. I get a bunch of vets out walking with our service dogs in training and it has created a safe place for guys who to come, socialize, and get some direction in getting the help they need without feeling like a patient. Plus we get homeless vets out there walking with us due to the free breakfast and help them get into a local homeless shelter for vets.
