Operation PTSD
OperationPTSD.com is dedicated to assisting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Veterans and providing tools for recovery. Creating awareness and providing educational material is a very simple way of breaking through to Veterans fighting the STIGMA of this destructive and persistent injury. Our mission also includes uncovering and providing resources each individual can use to become proactive in their recovery. By creating OperationPTSD.com our intention is to provide a Community approach to healing with a sense of camaraderie that gives additional support to each individual that would not otherwise exist in a traditional treatment setting. A true for Veterans by Veterans organization. With our efforts to help Veterans we also intend to be a beacon of light to all PTSD sufferers outside the military community as well. Together we can multiply the joy of healing and divide the sorrow of suffering.

FOR A $25.00 DONATION TO OPERATION PTSD YOU CAN RECEIVE AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY, FROM CPL ERIC J. COX, A 2010 NOMINATED PULITZER PRIZE AUTHOR, OF HIS BOOK CPL COX.
Marine Corps combat veteran CPL COX is not a hero. He’s an average American who joined the military during peacetime with the dream of honor and willingness to sacrifice in the service of his country. On February 6, 2003, he left loved ones behind, stepped into the darkness of the unknown and found himself in the midst of Operation: Iraqi Freedom.
This memoir, rewritten from the pages of his journal, delivers an informative, personal, thought-provoking and sometimes poignant look into his wartime experience. But, even more remarkable, is the insight it provides regarding the inner struggles CPL COX had to face as a member of the United States Military ¾ the physical, emotional and psychological challenges faced similarly, yet in their own individual ways by American servicemen and servicewomen all over the world.
