  1. thank you SO much dancanmt...I'm finding TONS of info that is helpful!!
  2. Dear Friends, I was guided to this site by a member (Les in MN) who asked me to try to find BERTA, in hopes she could be of help to me and my family. Just three and a half weeks ago, we lost our beloved Josh, an Iraqi War Vet to PTSD....his memorial website is here: http://joshua-omvig.memory-of.com/ Since then we (his family) have researched full time to find out all we can about this disorder. We have spent countless hours on the net finding other Vets suffering, and families devestated like we are. There are SO MANY!! At this point, we've launched "The War Against PTSD" from Josh's website. There people can and are writing to their elected officials and demanding changes in how PTSD is handled by the Military, Government, VA, etc. We are also in the process of getting ideas put together for a petition that will be sent to every Elected Official in the Nation along with every News Media Outlet... Here is the post I am sharing, please share it also with everyone you know who can help. please also share Josh's website with everyone you know, and ask them to do the same...WE DO HAVE POWER IF WE BAN TOGETHER...ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE WATCHING THAT SITE! It's had NEARLY 1000 HITS IN JUST EIGHT DAYS!...and it's well over 100 hits a day currently! PLEASE HELP! (Ideas, anything!) Subject: SOS Help Needed from PTSD Military Heros and Their Families!! As many of you know, we are in the process of writing a very DETAILED Petition about the "WAR on PTSD". It will be sent to EVERY Elected Official from the President (and his family) to city mayors. It will be sent to every major news outlet including TV, Radio and Newspapers. To every military AGENCY from the VA to the DAV and more! The wording is IMPORTANT, we have pros at writing petitions going to help us put all the ideas together.. we have ONE BIG SHOT at this. We want it ALL COVERED. This petition will be placed ONLINE for everyone w/pc access to legally sign it just as if you did it in person. I need YOUR HELP! Please hit reply and suggest what YOU think needs to be included in this petition....Stick to the FACTS....what happed to YOU (or your family member/loved one)...what do you KNOW for a FACT happens and what changes need to be done. example: Problem: Our debriefing for the Reserves consisted of 15 minutes of "Welcome Home, anyone need help? No? Well let us know... Great, see ya!"B) Needed: Intense debriefing, including discussion of the likely hood AND symptoms of PTSD, including the odds they will suffer in some form. Follow up, in person contact with Vets and their Families LONG after they are sent home to make sure they are aware of any syptoms and not recognizing them. Supports set up for those suffering and families that will get them help without the fear of retrobution in careers. Please help, I'll be monitoring the groups I post this to, if you know of someone else who could contribute, have them send ideas to me at annie_250@yahoo.com God Bless!
