I was walking in a mall the other day. I had my army hat on. A young man stopped me and said thank you to me. That certainly made my day. We need to be thanking all service men and women when we see them. It will make their day, and make you smile.

Here is another plug for all of you brothers and sisters who are attempting to get compensation from the military. My thought is NEVER GIVE UP!

The military seems to automatically turn you down the first time you apply. Keep trying and keep going back to push farther.

I know of a guy that never gave up. He was turned down many times, and he persevered. He earned full compensation.

Doug Bolton’s “Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life” is a powerful tool in the battle against PTSD. He provides the insights that we…. that you need to stem the tide of hopelessness that many of our veterans and first responders experience.

Doug is a counselor and author, but most importantly an “encourager” who knows the daily pain and discouragement that so many experience.  You can feel Doug walking beside you acknowledging the hurt and depression.  But at the same time that he validates what you are feeling, Doug provides down to earth guidance and encouragement to move you forward.

Most importantly, Doug “walks the talk.”  Whether through his blogs or his leadership in several veteran’s organizations, Doug is engaged in this battle daily.  He is a founding member of the board of directors of Victory for Veterans actively encouraging the Board and senior leaders to raise funds and provide the tools so desperately need in the battle against PTSD.
