When War Comes Home Part Two

New video on PTSD. Someone asked if I could put up a video for the new generation of wounded with country music. I'll admit when it comes to any kind of newer music, I know very little of any of it. I asked a few friends for some suggestions. Toby Keith came up the most. I used Yesterday's Rain and My List for the songs on this one. I tried to use more from Afghanistan, since that occupation usually gets forgotten about and wanted to include some of the troops from other nations as well. We cannot forget that none of the nations finding it necessary to send them into combat, never seem to manage to anticipate any of them getting wounded. It's up to us to make sure they take care of the men and women they send. This isn't political because on this, no one is off the hook. Pro-war or Pro-Peace, both sides claim they care about the troops. Time to prove it folks. The wounded are waiting and more join them everyday. How about calling your Congressman and telling them to take care of all of them now! Give the wounded something to actually be thankful for from this "grateful nation" and the people who pray for them everyday.

To the country music fan, I hope you like the choice. Yesterday's Rain is about the past. My List is about living now. Too many of them with PTSD are not living in the now fully. We all need to understand what this is.
