The Invisible Injury of War

When they return from war, our Veterans and wounded warriors face many challenges, both physical and psychological. Oftentimes, the challenges result from physical injury and are visible, but in many cases, the injuries are invisible, and the worst of these is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We came across this disturbing graphic yesterday posted on FB. To be certain, we verified these statistics. The rate of Veteran suicide is 22 per day. We firmly believe that the therapeutic value of fly fishing does help those dealing with PTSD.
