Today is National PTSD Awareness Day. Many soldiers who have been in battle are often diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. But anyone who experience a traumatic event can have symptoms of PTSD. With the 4th of July coming up, remember to avoid using fireworks inside the city limits. Some one in your neighborhood may suffer from PTSD. In fact many veterans say the fireworks sound just like the gunfire they experienced in battle. Something like that can immediately take them right back to the battle field. And, if you know a vet or someone with PTSD, please check on them this 4th of July. One of the ways veterans are being treated for their PTSD is with specially trained K9s who calm the soldier down when they sense them getting anxious. Watch the video to learn more about the symptoms of PTSD and how one vet is overcoming his PTSD.
