‘I got my life back.’ Veterans with PTSD making progress thanks to service dog program

I know several heroes who are suffering from PTSD. I am helping them the best I can. Please take care of the veterans in your area. Show them the love of JESUS. Remember, you have not walked in their shoes. Think about it. Service is an individual’s experience, not yours.
