i was reading up on your blog and i saw this posting!!!! i think its amazing! my husband is in iraq for his 2nd tour and thank goodness has had no PTSD. i think this is a great thing to help out our soldiers who dont have support back here from family or friends. Even if they do, sometimes just being able to connect with someone who has really "been there, done that" is the best way to move forward.

I'll echo Tabz... good stuff.

This post is right in keeping with a great show I watched last evening: Lioness. Have you seen it, ASW? I'm not sure if it was a re-run, as the web site sez it "premiered" on PBS 11/13. But the show... at an hour and a half... sure opened my eyes. I had NO idea our women were in direct combat situations. I link your post and this show because the show focused a lot on the women after they got back from Iraq... and there were a few "misty moments" in those sequences.

Anyhoo. I DO go on. Thanks for this post.

That's really awesome. I love when social network sites can help bring people together and help them find the solutions and support they need.
