Did you know that the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) estimates that upwards of 20 percent of veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are confronting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? To help assist veterans and their families, The American Legion is launching a national awareness campaign to shine a spotlight on this issue.

The first installment of this campaign will be a public service announcement (PSA) that will focus on the mental health needs of veterans, particularly those who are battling the signature wounds of today’s war era: PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Lending their support and featured in this PSA will be Grammy Award-winning country music group Oak Ridge Boys.
