As
the war efforts fall from the headlines of the evening news, so does public
awareness of the massive growing needs of our brave troops and their families.
With suicide in the military as a result of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and depression, at an all time high, the troops
that suffer from these illnesses are, by far, not the only sufferers.
Perhaps the least mentioned are the thousands
of children who are being left without parents, either by death or by emotional
absence. Either way, an epidemic of kids, needing to be loved, and in many
cases, re-parented, is increasing every day. We must reach them with the fact
that, though their Dads and Moms may not be with them in one way or another,
their Father most certainly is, and He is just a prayer away!
No less devastating are those who give their
all to serve us in battle only to return to find that they cannot find jobs. Of
the many million troops who have served in America’s “war on terror” in Iraq
and Afghanistan, more than 1.6m have transitioned to a civilian life plagued by
high rates of homelessness and unemployment.
How TTM is helping
Along with the resources that we have written
and produced, we have recently hand-picked and stocked several
proven resources that effectively minister to the many needs of
our troops and their families. If you, or others you know, are suffering from the visible or unseen effects of war, please share our information and resources with them, so they know we're here to help.
