Description
"A man good enough to shed his blood for his country, is good enough to receive a square deal afterwards . . ."
-- Theodore Roosevelt
There are more veterans wounded with PTSD than any other type of combat wound... According to Department of Veterans Affairs'(VA)estimates, there are over 98,000 new PTSD Vets. If it is true about this 98,000 new PTSD Veterans then THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS SHOULD INVESTIGATE WHY THIS NUMBER IS SO HIGH.
Americans Who Support PTSD Veterans
PTSD VETERAN ADVOCACY GROUP
Our group is open to veterans as well as their families, their friends and appreciative-supporters. There is still a major stigma on PTSD veterans. We need reasonable, PTSD disability accommodations. We are a major, forgotten group of honorable veterans. The different levels of federal and state governments are our worse harassers. Yet there are more veterans wounded with PTSD than any other type of combat wound.
There are NO current reasonable disability accommodations for the PTSD disabled, so many PTSD veterans are never heard.
It's time that PTSD veterans, their families, their friends and their supporters are heard.
NOVEMBER IS "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" MONTH ON FEDERAL CALENDARS.
Every year, the federal government sends out a calendar to politicians and all its government agencies. In the bottom left corner of each month's calendar is a theme for the month. November's theme is KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. (Each month is a different theme.)
Every March is the theme SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS A FORM OF DISCRIMINATION. Not taking away anything from Sexual harassment and discrimination, but if harassment is a form of discrimination, why isn't PTSD HARASSMENT a form of Discrimination?
Harassing anyone with PTSD should be a Civil Rights Discrimination crime and should be punished as such by the federal government, even if the federal and states governments are doing the harassing.
HARASS: 1. To annoy or disturb
