As most of you know PTSD is a major issue effecting our troops as they are returning home from war.

Did you know, 1 out of 6 soldiers returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan have been diagnosed with psychological disorders and we are going to be seeing more and more as troops return home.

Did you know, as of last year we have lost over 800 troops in combat and another 800 or more had taken their own lives.

Did you know, women are twice as likely to develop PTSD compared to men.

Did you know, up to 70% of PTSD cases go unreported due to fear of not getting employed in the private sector. For example if you have PTSD you can not be hired as a police officer.

Now that you have more information about PTSD, please take a moment to show your support for more treatment and research by going to our petition page.

Did you know, in the United States there are currently 250,000 service men and woman who are homeless, of those 250,000 how many do you think have PTSD or another undiagnosed psychological disorder???

Thank you for taking the time to show your support for our service men and woman by signing our petition. We would like to see the construction of more research and treatment centers all over the country. The only way to increase awareness and support is strength in numbers, once we reach 10,000 signatures, a copy of the petition will be going to all branches of government, OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMAN NEED AND DESERVE OUR SUPPORT.
