My new quest for 2015 Way back in 2010 I started out on Facebook to help raise awareness for PTSD as Bob Veteran. Just to let all my Facebook friends know why I chose to do this is, I did not want to bring attention to myself. I did not want to be in the limelight as many other people like to do, to say look what I have done. We ran our petition to Congress to make June the official month for PTSD AWARENESS almost three years. Which we did may it into Congress, but as it looks House Res 631 is going to die of the House floor. The main reason for this awareness on PTSD was to hopefully help bring down the number of veteran suicides. In 2010 it was 18 per day. Sadly to say that number has gone up to 22 per day. What will it be next year or the next if we dont do more than just talking about this horrific number. My friend and Brother Ronald Cj Zaleski walked barefoot across America to bring attention to the number of veteran suicides. He even spoke in The Congressional House to all the Congress members that were present that day about veteran suicides. Yet, Congress did very little to make any type of changes that helped; we must do more this year. My new quest for this year is to get every state to give a proclamation making June their official month for PTSD AWARENESS. I will post my plans on how I am going to make this happen. I plan on traveling to each state if nessasarey, but I will need help from many of my WONDERFUL FACEBOOK FRIENDS.
