Past Due The Time of Change

Those that have chosen to fight for the "Freedoms" of America are being undersold in the realm of health and all that encompasses. Mental Health Illnesses are rapidly increasing within our military veterans and personnel and the resources are simply not there for this population of people to live to the best of their abilitities. Some Facts (about.com) PTSD: After deployment, approximately 12.5% had PTSD, a rate greater than that found among these soldiers before deployment (2010). Suicide: 32 soldiers committed suicide during the month of June, a record number not seen since the Vietnam War (2010). We are seeking to get this petition signed by as many people as nessessary in order for our voices to be heard. The stigma of mental health has altered the good of the people so it is our job to raise our voice and get help for those in need.
