You were never truly alone, and you are not alone now. With over 20 million veterans willing to stand by you, your well-being is of utmost importance to us at VFW Post 3885. Please remember that you are not alone in this journey.
Following a traumatic experience, it is common to experience a range of emotions, including fear, sadness, anxiety, and disconnection. If these emotions persist and you find yourself trapped in a cycle of distress and haunting memories, you may be experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can feel like an endless struggle, leaving you uncertain of ever finding peace or returning to a state of normalcy.
To address these challenges, VFW Post 3885 has established the ‚buddy-buddy‘ program. Veterans who have experienced similar situations, sharing their experiences or traumas from our nation’s conflicts, are here to provide support and guidance in a confidential, one-on-one setting. They understand the unique challenges that veterans face and can assist you in navigating the difficulties associated with your experiences.
If you are struggling, experiencing inner pain, or simply need someone to listen, please reach out. Your well-being matters, and there are veterans at VFW Post 3885 ready to stand beside you and provide support through whatever you are facing.
