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.
