The more awareness the better on the subject of PTSD.  With this announcement from the First Lady, millions of Americans will learn more about the tragedy of PTSD, especially on the families that live with this destructive mental illness, often for decades as in the case of my family.  I’m planning to send my book, Reconciliation: A Son’s Story, to the First Lady to give her a first hand perspective of one family’s struggle over a 70 year period with the untreated and destructive effects of PTSD, following the extended combat duty of my Dad, Vernon, during WWII.
