"Veterans Village"

A mother of a fallen combat medic Patrick McCaffrey has started a foundation to get help to veterans and their families who are dealing with PTSD as an ever lasting tribute to her son. It is an ambitious plan but then again there is a tremendous need for help, there are literally tens of thousands veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan who will or are dealing with symptoms of PTSD.

Goal
We will start it with a board of Veterans who very much want to help others and themselves
and their families in this process. They are very highly motivated. I have met them. The
support is coming from across the country right now because I’ve been speaking of the
project nationally. It’s a good time to show everyone in this country how serious this is.
Our streets are already filled with homeless (percent?) Veterans from Vietnam and this is
not acceptable.

We need to do something. We are their family. We are responsible for them and we need
recognize this and do something about it right now. Each community in this country should
be able to donate time and money to help them rebuild their lives.

We accepted this war. It’s time to bring closure to it as best we can or we know the rest.
So let’s do it. These Veterans will decide after speaking in depth with Veteran’s in need
how long and what sort of support, care, rehabilitation that this person will need. This will
be based on many things from being able to work or not, the degree of trauma and
suffering, the severity of injuries and ability to function as a civilian, i.e. can this Veteran
normally sit a restaurant table without having a flashback or physical pain? This type of
discovery will enable us to determine the length of time each Veteran will stay.

If you can send a donation, if you need help with PTSD contact them this is the good part of America working
