🇺🇸 VETERANS: NATIONAL PTSD AWARENESS DAY – RICHMOND 🇺🇸Honoring Strength. Raising Awareness. Breaking the Silence.
📍 Richmond, Indiana
🗓 National PTSD Awareness Day – June 27
⏰ [Insert Time & Location]
---
On National PTSD Awareness Day, we gather in Richmond to stand with the men and women who have served our country — and who continue fighting battles long after coming home.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects thousands of veterans across the United States. Many carry invisible wounds from combat, deployment, and service-related trauma.
These wounds may not be seen — but they are real.
And no veteran should face them alone.
---
🇺🇸 WHY THIS DAY MATTERS
PTSD is not weakness.
It is not failure.
It is not something to hide.
It is a human response to trauma.
National PTSD Awareness Day exists to:
✔ Educate our community about PTSD
✔ Reduce stigma around mental health in veterans
✔ Encourage open conversation
✔ Connect veterans with local and national resources
✔ Honor the courage it takes to seek help
In Richmond and throughout Wayne County, we want our veterans to know:
Your service is honored.
Your sacrifice is seen.
Your healing matters.
