To date, over 300,000 soldiers of the 1.5 million who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, have been diagnosed with PTSD or major depression. These soldiers, combined with our veterans of past, are overwhelming the military and veterans’ health care systems and as a result, hundreds of thousands of wounded troops and veterans are being forced to wait months and even years for appointments to receive proper therapy and treatments. Some veterans with serious mental health problems have committed suicide while waiting for counseling.  On average, 18 veterans commit suicide every day in the U.S.
