Next Monday, May 25th is Memorial Day - a time for us to honor and celebrate all the brave men and women of our armed services who laid their lives down for our country and our freedom.

Stay Strong Nation is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the men and women who have served our nation in combat, bringing awareness to the often unrecognized Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and promoting proper treatment and care for our heroes. With the release of the song "Stay Strong," they ask all Americans alike to give their support to our soldiers in combat regardless of their political views. PTSD affects many men and women who serve in our military who lived through traumatic experiences, and many of them come home to people who don't recognize their need for help or treatment.

This summer, on July 10th, Stay Strong Nation is organizing an event called Climb Strong, which is centered around a climb to the peak of Mount Fuji, Japan to benefit our service men and women.

StayStrongNation.org has also formally submitted a National Proclamation to the White House detailing the creation of National PTSD Awareness Week, beginning this year on Saturday, November 7th, which would include Veterans Day on Wednesday the 11th.

This Memorial Day Weekend, show your support for our troops, and help our nation to stay strong together!

Best,
Michael
