Please continue to pray for our brave young men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. The following article states that roughly 1 in 5 vets call the suicide line last year!

Don't mistake opposition to a war for dissing service.

I too find it sad that these stats are this way.

I have a very good friend who is battling PTSD from the Vietnam war. It really is horrible to live through and very difficult to recieve any help from the government.

Very sad. The negative effects of war extend far beyond only those who we lose in battle.
