A veteran suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder filed a lawsuit against an Omaha apartment complex after they allegedly refused to give him accommodation to live with his service dog.
Dwaine Goings served in the Army and fought in the Persian Gulf War. As a result of combat, the decorated veteran suffers from PTSD and requires the assistance of his dog for daily support.
Goings signed a one-year lease in December 2014 with Hillsborough Pointe Apartments, at 14441 Sprague Court in Omaha.

Now you get the idea of what it looks like. They didn't just take my work, they also took the work of the reporters I always link to so that readers and go to the site and give them the traffic for their work. There are a lot more of these but wanted to give you an idea of what I have to go through.
Now you know what plagiarism looks like but unless it happens to you, you don't know what it feels like.
Plus, considering I just had to waste hours putting this together instead of doing the work I normally do tracking all these reports, there won't be any more posts today. I need a lot of adult beverages to get this bad taste out of my mouth.
Tomorrow I'll be back to work on this site and give them more stuff to just take as their own,,,,,,,,

John Preston, Iraq Veteran Musician Plans New Path
While this veteran/musician didn't know the "22 a day" is wrong and the numbers have simply been pushed, this is a good story to read. John Preston wants to prevent suicides instead of just raise awareness they are happening. We're looking at over 26,000 veterans committing suicide every year and the majority of them are from the older veterans.

He has promised to redouble his efforts, though in a slightly different direction. Preston's goal now is to not just raise awareness about the lives that have been lost, but stop them from happening.It was one year ago and, clearly, things were just about the happen for John Preston.
The Danville Marine and Iraq War Veteran had just re-booted his music career and people were beginning to take not of his songs and the message they carried.
More Americans, Preston believed, needed to know about the tragedy that was 22 veterans a day committing suicide.
"A number that, the first time I heard it blew my mind," Preston said in January of 2015.
Preston's older brother was a police officer in their home state of Kentucky. Like so many other veterans Preston knows, his brother was suffering from PTSD.
"He kissed his kids goodbye, got in his car, drove down the street, and took his life," Preston said.
Of all the lives Preston has been trying to save, he couldn't save one of the ones closest to him.

Plagiarists At It Again
It is really pitiful to see all the hard work I put into this site simply stolen just because someone felt like it.
Much to my shock, there is a site that has most of my content going back to November of 2015. MyPTSD.com is connected to a site PTSD Blog and they have been using my work going back to November of 2015.
What I do on Wounded Times comes from countless hours of tracking news reports plus over 30 years experience researching and living with PTSD in my own home. I take all of this very seriously.
It doesn't matter I don't get a paycheck to do it. I get one from my regular job.
It doesn't matter that I lost a couple thousand dollars every year and no one has thought about any of this. It hasn't stopped me because this, this is my life as it has been for far too long.
It is reprehensible for all these "awareness groups" popping up all over the country expecting money from folks to do what they should be doing for free! Ask any of them what the money is for or why they deserve it and they won't be able to come up with a reasonable answer. Ask them what their background is or what qualifies them to do this work and they won't really have anything to say. Caring isn't enough! That's how we ended up with all of this getting worse instead of better.
Every news report on this site has links to the original source. Every government has links to where it came from. I do not take someone else's work and won't put up an entire article for that reason. I want my readers to go to the link to read the rest of the work the reporter put into the story. I value their work.
If you see any of my work online contact me so that we can stop these plagiarist!

Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center HOVER For Veterans
FOX28 Special Report: HOVER Vets
Katherine Duchame
February 10, 2016
A local Vietnam veterans dream to continue serving after duty, is now a reality. One that touches the hearts of dozens of veterans every week in Michiana.
It started as what was thought to be a "simple" idea, a program to help veterans hospitalized get back on their feet. Now, a realization that the program does so much more as we learned in a special report from FOX 28's Katherine Ducharme.
The program is called HOVER, it stands for Honoring Our Veterans and Encouraging Recovery. HOVER ensures that every veteran hospitalized at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, is thanked for their service. A gesture many of us view as "normal" in today's world, but for some veterans who never received that recognition, it means so much more.
Bern McGrane, a Vietnam veteran and coordinator of HOVER, has a routine day of delivering an American flag and some company to hospitalized veterans. It became McGrane's mission in life just over a year ago."I was in the army in 1967, and as funny as it may seem that was me in 1967, I was 19 I believe," said McGrane.He served as a combat infantry soldier in Vietnam for 14 months.
"During the time that I was there, there was a uniqueness to being in a squad or a platoon, because it's not like you're going to do an eight to five job, you live with your fellow soldiers 24/7 under every imaginable kind of circumstance," said McGrane.
