SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND VETERANS

During the Tet Offensive in Vietnam on January 31, 1968, Jim Markson witnessed horrific things. After a poor reception at home, he put his service behind him. Many years later, he learned one of his military buddies had died of a drug overdose and another by suicide. Jim finally sought and found relief and support by going to the VA and began counseling after 30 plus years to deal with his combat stress and loss. PTSD is a silent weapon attacking our soldiers of yesterday, today and tomorrow affecting the soldier and his loved ones.
