Why It's Important
I truly feel that this project will help veterans in seeking help when dealing with the issue of PTSD. At the end of the film I will attach the number to the veteran's hotline. I have seen many of my friends get divorced or commit suicide because they feel that there is no one to talk to. And that is what this film is about. This could save a veteran's life.
