Yet again we have thrown our Veterans to the wolves. We have to make this stop. We cannot let this happen again! I am so ashamed of my Canadian government for the lack of caring they have for our Veterans. I won't forget.

They do not need someone to "Just listen" that is what our families are for. Our veterans need professional help - something that we wish we could do for our vets but can't as family members.

As a PTSD person, once you reveal it to family and friends, you truly find out who your supporters are but ones survival skills, will seek out and find the right ones to be in our lives. The only telephone number I dial now, is the one to the Lord and someday, I will be heading that way on a one way trip and the Pearly Gates will be wide open, cuz I will leave Hell behind. The Gov wants my taxes, most friends/family treat me as a convenience and Others use us our pain as tools for their selfish needs. No longer.

"We as a nation" need to speak up for the men and women who have served for our freedoms, as well as freedoms of others around the world. They have put their lives on hold and life on the line to help others, struggling with post traumatic stress disorder now thought to be more deadly for veterans than the war they served in or other traumatic situations.
However, some of these Veterans and their families are having a difficult time accessing financial support from the federal government due to closure of nine Veteran Affairs offices coming in 2014.
Since February 2002, 158 Canadian soldiers have died in the war in Afghanistan but how many after they came home?

it's so easy to send these soldiers to war with no thoughts as to what they may suffer on their return

they fight many conflicts through out the world that involve innocent kids women and men. They see them dying a death they should not be having. Conflicts in parts of the world that are not ours. They suffer for it. They are human. Think about it being you or one of your family members who are seeing these gruesome acts of violent and act now.

Three suicides this week and what is the government doing about it. They need to stop the rhetoric and actually do something to help soldiers who have given so much for our country.
Long overdue!
