Support Our Troops.

Magnify

We all have the utmost respect for those who serve in our armed forces and for those who serve overseas in harm’s way. Now in addition to Veterans Day this month, we also have another unique opportunity to support our troops. When our service personnel return home from one war, they usually must begin another. Unemployment for veterans is at an all time high, and twenty percent of returning vets have symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which raises the risk of domestic abuse. A new study says violence is also more common among kids of combat veterans. And that includes the daughters. A non-profit company started in Kentucky, http://waragainstviolence.org, hopes to aid in the instruction and training of individuals for the purpose of improving their lives and developing their capabilities in the area of violence prevention.
