Salem Lutheran VBS July 11-15
I receive so many emails that sometimes I miss interesting facts. Recently, I read the Veterans Administration has made June national PTSD month and they are working to offer various services to our veterans. Actually, PTSD is not a medical issue only for veterans, there are many factors that can cause post-traumatic stress disorder for individuals. I have known people who suffer from this and it can be very difficult to deal with.
The Gabriel Goode Fundraiser was a great success and the family wants to thank everyone who worked, planned, bought a plate, bought tickets and everything else. Gabriel still has a way to go, so keep him in your prayers.
