Very well done. This sounds like a great program that is making a real difference in the lives of these wounded warriors and their families. The unconditional love that animals have can heal the broken. =^.^=

Amazingly courageous video. Not only is this a great organization, the portrayal of openness with PTSD and TBI is great. We need all of our vets with these conditions to know that we love and support them.

Proud to have PTSD? That's even more scary.

This is such a great program. This was a very good video promoting Paws and Stripes. Being an animal lover and also having a best friend with PTSD, I can relate to this video. Paws and Stripes does such great work, and this video really shows the good that the program does.

What a powerful/touching video...It's awesome how he brings himself up and is not bothered at all by PTSD...

Cool video.

This video touched my heart because I really love dogs, and seeing that they can help our country's heroes so greatly makes me smile. :)

More videos like this need to be made public to show support for our wounded veterans. Creating awareness is key. Amazing video.

Post traumatic stress disorder is an unseen illness affecting many American vets today. It isn’t a new illness just one that has been better diagnosed and identified. And if a dog can help with this illness thats really great.

This is such a wonderful program! These animals are angels sent from God to help these soldiers heal their emotional wounds.
