PTSD, TBI, and our Veterans
One in five post 9/11 veterans came home with PTSD.
There have been 414,000 Wounded Warriors who suffer from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) of all severities through 2019 (Depart of Defense).
We take a stand for Veterans who stood for our freedom...We Want To Help! Unlike the physical wounds of war, these conditions remain invisible to other service members, to family members, and to society in general. Both of these conditions affect mood, thoughts, and behavior; yet these wounds often go unrecognized and unacknowledged.
