We forget how many women go into combat and have since wars first began. They die. They get wounded bodies and minds. They also suffer beyond what is "normal" conditions for men because of their gender. This is for all the women who serve in the military.
National Guards and Reservist serve at home, then deploy into combat with the regular military. Then they come home, return to family and jobs, but carry the wounds of PTSD within them. They return to fire departments and police departments, continuing to risk their lives here while dealing with what happened there.
PTSD is not God's judgment against you. He did not leave you. The first warrior created by God was the Arch Angel Michael. He knew He would have to make protectors.
Why be afraid if you're not alone? Why suffer in silence when so many others know what you're going through? You don't have to fight to heal this wound alone.
When they come back from combat, you think they are safe, but some are still in danger. Learn the signs to know if they need help to heal from this wound you can only see with your heart.
This was supposed to be "One Nation Under God" but we have changed and no longer try to take care of each other as equals. We are all just humans and need compassion. This is a moral value.
Veteran's Day message from I.F.O.C Sr. Chaplain Kathie Costos so that next year it will be a better one for veterans and their families living with PTSD
