In recent years with the increased attention cinematically to the World War II population, many more World War II veterans have emerged now understanding that they've had problems with their war experiences. It' s very difficult for combat veterans to access the difficult memories of war, and many avoid it. It takes willingness by the veteran, and a safe place and knowledgeable treatment to make the movement. I, too, did not want to admit that the war had impacted me negatively, emotionally. And it was only through patience and knowledgeable care that I was able to do so.
Families can let their veterans know of their concerns and where help is available.
The veterans have to do the rest. I'd like to thank the audience for sharing their ideas and raising questions that are very important. There are many veterans who could benefit from the recognition that the public can bring them, and I encourage all Americans to be supportive of veterans who have sacrificed their time, youth, and sometimes limbs and sometimes lives, that are now very lonely, to defend this nation. It is very very important to support all veterans of all wars. I'd just like to say thank for your interest in this program and our story.
