Veterans will have a chance in September to walk in support of PTSD education

I don't know if this documentary is any good or not. I've only seen clips of it from the site. What I do know is that while the veterans become aware of what PTSD is, usually kicking, denying and screaming they don't have a problem, the general public is even more behind the learning curve. Any documentary to bring this into the public's attention is a worthy effort.

(SALEM, Ore.) - I admit that when we first decided


(SALEM, Ore.) - I admit that when we first decided to produce an hour long documentary on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I thought it would be so widely supported that the actual production would be a piece of cake. I was wrong.

Companies that make literally billions off the wars overseas, won't so much as return a call to this producer. So I have another, much better idea. I am going to march 500 miles with fellow veterans to raise support for this important program. We don't need big corporate funding anyway, we just need more heart and soul, which is where this whole effort begins anyway.

The goal is to generate enough funding to produce this program at a high standard with all of the required components. The budget we gain from donations will allow us to make the best use of time, instead of everything being stretched and corners cut.
