SILVER STAR FAMILIES OF AMERICA
The Silver Star Families of America has one mission; to remember, honor and assist the wounded and ill of our Armed Forces.
And for years the Silver Star Families of America, along with other wonderful organizations, have fought against the stigma associated with PTSD in regard to Soldiers returning from a combat zone. It seems that PTSD is one of the few remaining wounds of war that people don’t want to talk about.
Today it has been announced that the SSFOA will no longer use the term PTSD:
Steve Newton, founder of the SSFOA stated, “We do not consider Post Traumatic Stress a “disorder.”
“Calling it PTSD is automatically labeling the individual with a “disorder”
Newton finished by stating, “the time has come for everyone to drop the “D” and offer a hand.”
