PTSD and a film for our veterans: Thank You For Your Service

Teresa, thank you for posting the link to the movie trailer on YouTube. I had seen the movie trailer before and to be honest it brought up some sad memories of friends I had who had served in the Vietnam war and were affected by PTSD before we knew what it was doing to veterans. I think the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have brought PTSD out into the open but I don't feel we as a country deal with it and provide the help needed to the returning veterans. The VA is a mess (IMHO) and it's only through groups like Franklin Graham & Samaritan's Purse Heal Our Patriots (http://sampur.se/2hfym00) and a few other groups that I've seen Gary Sinise is also involved with that are making a difference. I am hoping the movie will be well attended and help shine the light world wide on this growing problem.
God Bless!
John

I don't think the full version is available until Oct 2017? There have been screenings in certain locations where there has been someone who sponsored or bought enough tickets to bring it to a location/city - http://www.thankyouforyourservicethefilm.com/. Reviews by people who have seen it say it is a very powerful film.

@johnbishop Perhaps you are right. I heard about the film because there was a showing in Lansing, Michigan and the reviews were wonderful. I'll have to check You Tube to sure of that, though.

@johnbishop Thanks for sharing your opinion, John. I believe there is a link to the entire film. Have you watched it yet?
