Please support a good cause.
My friend, Danny, is an Iraq War veteran with the Army. He is a very humble and down-to-earth guy. His political views are right on some things and left on others, just like the vast majority of us. He is an extremely caring and understanding person whose mission in life is to help as many people as possible and to help people achieve the American dream. The man works tirelessly at it.
Seven years ago, he started a small fitness company called Soldierfit. It has grown and is now franchising. Through the success of this company, he decided to help use his company's growing popularity to help raise awareness about an issue very near and dear to his heart.
Last year, he created an organization called 22 Needs a Face to help veterans with PTSD. Every day, an average of 22 veterans take their own lives because they're not able to handle their PTSD. The organization has a three-part plan to help veterans with PTSD : create an environment where veterans with PTSD can feel safe to discuss their struggles and feel part of a community with others going through the same thing, get more people aware of PTSD and remove the stigma behind it so those who have it can feel more comfortable receiving proper treatment, and to help lobbying efforts to help increase VA funding and PTSD treatment programs and career opportunities.
This is an issue very important to him because, when he came back from Iraq, he suffered from PTSD, was homeless, dealt with molestation, and attempted to commit suicide. He received help and treatment and is doing great things now for the community. Last year, he got married and, this year, he's expecting his first child (a daughter).
If you have a family member or friend who is or was in the military or even if you care about people, in general, and would rather our government take care of the soldiers it so willingly sent overseas for war whenever they come back home, please share this link to the poll on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else you can.
You can vote daily. It doesn't take long at all. No sign-up required, just a Facebook to Twitter account, I believe.

Please and thank you.
While your friend's cause is deserving, it is no more so than many, many others. If the other members post and keep the thread alive, that is fine, but it is up to them. When the forum director says not to bump the thread, your options include making a thread in Moderator Discussions to appeal. They do NOT include immediately bumping it and then announcing your defiance.
