PTSD Watch, Scam Alert, VRAP Update

My friend, “proudarmymomvv,” sent me a great resource site called PTSD Watch, at: http://paper.li/TroopSupporters/1314139783# I’m not quite sure whether to call this an aggregator or an online newspaper, but there are lots of articles and videos from a variety of sources.  The publisher is Support the Soldiers, an all-volunteer organization, and you can find them at: http://supportthesoldiers.org/ From today’s PTSD Watch comes our video of the week, about raising funds for service dogs for soldiers with PTSD and other mental health issues: http://youtu.be/NtuUhq0w-pA

Military.com has sent out another warning to veterans about scam artists trying to sell veterans the service of figuring out what benefits they are eligible for – this service is provided at no cost by the VFW, American Legion, and AMVETS.  Please don’t get taken in by this scam – see the full article at: http://www.military.com/military-report/vets-warned-about-more-scams?ESRC=miltrep.nl
