Salem-News.com Producer/Reporter Tim King is producing a documentary about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and he\'s looking for support. The program will be seriously helpful for combat vets and their families. It features interviews with U.S. soldiers and Marines all over Iraq who discuss what they are doing while still in the war, to help offset the problems related to PTSD. [More] [Less]

We made this video as a class project examining an issue involving dignity. We chose this issue because we felt like War Veterans in America are marginalized and discounted and it\'s wrong.

This video explains the \"natural reactions to unnatural events\" that cause PTSD. Made for combat veterans, their family and friends and community leaders.

The House debates the Joshua Omvig Veterans Suicide Prevention Act, which directs the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to develop and implement a comprehensive program to reduce the incidence of suicide among veterans. The bill is named for an Iraq veteran who took his own life, and recognizes the special needs of veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and elderly veterans who are at high risk for depression and experience high rates of suicide. The bill follows hearings in the Oversight and Veterans Affairs committees seeking to address the tragic mental anguish experienced by many veterans, and is part of ongoing, comprehensive efforts by the new Congress to make veterans a top priority. Rep. Bruce Braley speaks in favor. [More] [Less]

Public Service Announcement from Disabled Vet National Memorial National Spokesperson Gary Sinise.

Alarmed by a record rate of suicide in its ranks, the Army has unveiled a unique prevention tool — an interactive video to be mandatory viewing Army-wide — in which soldiers will play the role of an anguished infantryman and make virtual choices that lead the character to get help or, in the worst case, shoot himself in the head. The video is one of several initiatives launched by the Army to try to stem the suicide rate among active-duty soldiers. That rate increased from 12.4 per 100,000 in 2003, when the Iraq war started, to 18.1 per 100,000 in 2007. willinteractive.com [More] [Less]

http://realitycatcher-alapoet.blogspot.com/ http://realitycatcher-alapoet.blogspot.com/2008/04/angry-senator-murray-blasts-va-for.html The Department of Veterans Affairs has lied about the number of veterans who have tried to kill themselves, according to Sen. Patty Murray, who cited internal e-mails that put the number at 12,000 a year while the department was publicly saying it was fewer than 800. Some experts now predict that suicide deaths among Iraq veterans will exceed the number of Iraq battlefield deaths. \\ [More] [Less]
