Thank you all for the very kind comments. Mr. Williams, thank you for your service and insights. The next article that Post 56 will write for “The Year of the Veteran” series is on PTSD.
Thank you again.

As a veteran (100% DAV) to other veterans, thank you for your service to this country and for what you're doing now. Now the country has an obligation to serve you, but only if you allow yourself to get involved. I strongly advise veterans to utilize your veteran's benefits. One area that I strongly encourage you to enroll in is the PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) program. Avoid being a walking time bomb; those eerie feelings are difficult to deal with and are sure signs that you should take care of yourself. I know about it firsthand, and denial of it will hurt you. To know your rights as a veteran go to www.va.gov and use it to learn more about PTSD and also any other medical conditions you might have after serving in the military.
