A RESOLUTION

Recognizing and commending the Warrior Family Program; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the Warrior Family Program is a group of veterans organized for the purpose of giving assistance to veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); and

WHEREAS, caused by the horrors experienced during war, PTSD has an insidious effect on the health of individuals; and

WHEREAS, PTSD causes emotional, social, physical, spiritual, and communication challenges for both the veterans suffering from the disease and their loved ones; and

WHEREAS, the Warrior Family Program was assembled by Mr. Lee Stuart, a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the United States Army, who also serves as the program's current director; and

WHEREAS, the purpose of the Warrior Program is to alert leaders in Georgia of the need for programs to help veterans find local PTSD treatment, show veterans and their families that the state and country care for them and appreciate the sacrifices they have made for our freedom, and provide an outlet for the citizens of Georgia to show their love, support, respect, and appreciation to the military for their service to our country; and

WHEREAS, with the motto "We will never leave a fallen comrade," the Warrior Family Program joins business, industrial, and philanthropic organizations to help veterans and their families affected by PTSD reintegrate back into society and deal with the daily challenges this disease presents; and

WHEREAS, the Warrior Family Program has already seen great success, rehabilitating members of the program who attended sessions in Whitesburg and Carroll County, Georgia; and
WHEREAS, the Warrior Family Program has made great strides in providing aid to our military heroes and their families struggling with PTSD, and it is abundantly fitting and proper that the program's outstanding contributions be recognized appropriately.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body commend the Warrior Family Program for its efforts in bringing awareness and assistance to soldiers suffering from PTSD.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to the Warrior Family Program's director, Mr. Lee Stuart.
