As I write this, I realize I am still struggling. I am struggling with some of the everyday issues that affect those with PTSD. I still have mood swings. I still have difficulty with loud noises and sudden gestures. However, I am making progress and I cannot complain.
This blog project has brought up some feelings I have not dealt with in a few years, but it has also enlightened me. I have personal experience with the way the VA treats our veterans but I can only imagine how bad the injured are being treated. I do hope one thing, however. I hope that I have enlightened at least one person who reads this blog. I am not asking for pity or sympathy, I am asking people to take an objective view at the treatment received by our modern heroes. My service in the military was a great time and an excellent experience. I would not change the fact that I served in the military. What I would change, if I could, is the awareness of everyday Americans to these travesties.
It has been an interesting course and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. I have never created a blog and this was an enlightening experience. In summation, everyone needs to appreciate their service members a little more. Take the time off on Veteran’s Day to appreciate what the day truly means. Also, remember that veterans served year round for your protection, so do not just relegate appreciation to one day. Thank you for reading my blog and good luck in the future to all students.
