QUOTE FOR FRIDAY:

“The statistics surrounding Veterans and PTSD are alarming. The National Center for PTSD found:

  • At some point in their life, 7% of all Veterans will have PTSD. (That’s 1.26 million Veterans with PTSD.)
  • PTSD is more common among female Veterans (13 out of 100, or 13%) versus male Veterans (6 out of 100, or 6%).

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 29% of Veterans who served in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom will suffer from PTSD at some point in their life. That’s 551,000 service members from those conflicts alone. ”
