A topic near and dear to my heart. While many can relate to the military and invisible wounds they often fail to realize that the condition exists in many with no connection to the military.
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters, here on VFV. This is something that we’ve talk about quite often on WFL and I have found it very helpful to hear and talk about issues that have been a problem for me. The most difficult thing for folks is to understand the invisible wounds that folks suffer. I would hope that many more veterans, first responders or whoever support same, would hear of the opportunities for help and then to share with all who who need it. With all that being said, I would personally hope that we do not forget one of the best resources is the Holy Bible. Enjoy and be blessed with the following…
Good R.E.D. Friday Morning Colonel.
