My son, John, is a veteran who served in the National Guard in Afghanistan and Iraq. He returned from Afghanistan and began showing signs of PTSD. He isolated himself for a while. After his 22 year old sister passed away suddenly, he checked himself into the local VA. The VA put him in a detox unit for a week due to the excessive amount of xanax he had been prescribed. When he went home, he was delusional, excitable and paranoid.

For the last eight months he has been struggling, but wants help. The VA has been ignoring him. The offered one day a week out patient counseling. He wants to get into a long term dual diagnosis program that will help him with his PTSD.

Will you help us get him the help he is looking for by signing our petition. Our intentions are simple. We want him healed.

Thank you, Tom and Marie
