  Veterans living with PTSS/PTSD live in a grey world filled with anxiety, depression, hyper-vigilance, isolation, addictions, or anger.  Many times, not knowing or realizing why?  Normally with veterans their PTSS/PTSD is from combat situations. The war may be over physically, but not so in their mind.  Even with treatment PTSS/PTSD is still there daily.  PTSS/PTSD truly is an invisible wound.  Veteran's Puppy for Life Organization was founded to provide these veterans with a puppy when it is eight weeks old, which will become their service dog eventually.  The goal is to help them focus their attention on the puppy and not on themselves.  Visit: http://www.vetpuppyforlife.org
