Love, Honor, & Hope - A Benefit for the United States War Veteran’s PTSD Foundation.
PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, affects
approximately 19% of the military men and women returning from Afghanistan and
Iraq—and that’s just those who have been diagnosed. The percentage is expected
to grow as more of our military members seek treatment. It’s a heartbreaking
trend for the men and women who sacrifice so much for our freedoms, especially
with benefits being cut and promotions being threatened.
The United States War Veteran’s PTSD
Foundation is a non-profit
charity that focuses on providing FREE care to combat military members, both
active and veterans.
They can’t do it alone, which
is why we’ve made the decision to step up and do something. All eight of the
authors have their personal reasons for supporting this cause.
Cherime MacFarlane, author of Heart
of the Hunter said, “For me, it’s the way a very quiet man, my uncle,
receded into the background whenever a family function took place. I did
understand he came back from WWII that way. A young man, easy going and quick
to laugh became a recluse. My father also served in WWII, as did a second uncle
who returned far from the mischievous young man he was before the war claimed
his youth.
I was a young mother during
the Vietnam era. I had friends who did not come back from Vietnam. I had other
friends who did come home but were permanently damaged by the things they saw.
For me, this is an opportunity to give back something to the men who served
their country when the call came. My uncles and father are gone now, but I do
hope, in some small way, to pay it forward for them. This is a tiny step, but
as the man once said, every journey begins with that first step.”
It’s easy to sit back and
talk about helping our veterans and active military members. To step up and
help is something altogether different. We are answering the call for help.
