Some of the videos that really stood out from this week for me were the video of the "Wounded Warrior Project" and "Ben Comen - The Cross Country Runner."
I also played around on the wounded warrior project webpage to see what it was all about. There was some really interesting information on there. Personally I have an uncle who suffers from ptsd, so this project and what they stand for is extremely interesting to me. What a great thing to be a part of! It can be easy to lump people into needing help with activities and such based off their outer appearances (or what you can physically see that is "wrong.") But, it is a lot harder to understand and see what is going on mentally with someone. There are a lot of disorders that get overlooked because they aren't seen as anything needing help, like ptsd. This is something I have had to realize through the years and have grown to better understand through interactions with others and family. Something to always remember is there can always be something on the inside we don't initially recognize.
