From Memorial Day weekend (May 27th) to Independence Day (July 4th), Dog Bless You and explore.org will provide up to 100 companion and service dogs to returning soldiers who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. For every 5,000 “likes” the Dog Bless You page receives, explore.org will donate a companion or service dog to a recent war veteran.
If you're a member of Facebook, please consider going to this site & push the "like" button. It costs nothing to you & it provides so much for our brave men & women in uniform. Of the soldiers serving in Iraq & Afghanistan, an amazing 95% are said to be coming home with PTSD. PTSD has personally affected my life as a child, after my father served in Vietnam. You can't see these wounds, but they leave scars just the same.
