June is PTSD Awareness Month, a dedicated time to reduce the stigma surrounding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and highlight that effective, life-changing treatments exist. Approximately 5% of U.S. adults live with PTSD at any given time, but most do not receive the care they need. If you know someone with this disease, reach out, check on them. It can go a long way.

The Veterans Council is looking for some new members. We meet once a month and sometimes at events. This council has done some significant things for our Northern Panhandle vets and vet throughout the state. If you would like to join or just check it out, we meet next Wednesday at Helping Heroes at 6:30. A great way to help fellow veterans.

We are so sad to share this news. Tom was a founding member of the Northern Panhandle Veterans Council. Tom meant so much to so many people. He can never be replaced.
