Comes as no surprise as there continues to be a lot more hoohah than dooah when it comes to getting our men and women in uniform, veterans and their families improved access to behavioral health care services – http://nbcnews.to/S7kbM0

Please take note of this great resource. “The book is a much more realistic version of a war-front return written and illustrated for children. From a child’s point of view, it depicts the highs and lows of reuniting.” http://wapo.st/sycY05

To paraphrase, “for a lack of a horse, a kingdom was lost – “for a lack of the love and loyalty of a dog, major depressions are born and suicidal thoughts arise” / Come on, seriously.  The VA is a bureaucracy that spends millions on projects that never pan out needs “empirical evidence” that the companionship of a dog is beneficial to those suffering from PTSD. To quote Ronald Reagan, “their is nothing so good for the inside of a man than the outide of a horse”-he didn’t need empiricla evidence-common sense told him. This “finding” is total malarkey.

Our Nation loves records. This is one we should resolve will never be seen again. The private sector needs to do more in combination with Federal, State an Local authorities. No Nation w/ our resources should accept this carnage as the cost of ten years of war. These Kids deserve better!. I for one will never stop until that fact is realized and concrete steps made to make sure this record is never approached again/ http://bit.ly/mZij3Y

The title says it all / There needs to be more community resources available. We must stop failing these men and women. Army suicide widows: Too little, too late: http://cbsn.ws/OCC9Df
