SUMMARY:National PTSD Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:PTSD Awareness Day is observed every year on June 27th. PTSD stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and is a condition that many veterans and non-veterans alike suffer. PTSD can occur when someone experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. This condition wasn’t always understood properly by the medical or military community\, and Department of Defense press releases often point to earlier attempts to identify PTSD symptoms in the wake of service in World War 2\, Vietnam\, and other conflicts. \nPTSD Awareness Day will be observed on June 27th. June is also PTSD Awareness Month.  \nThe History Of PTSD Awareness Day\nIn 2010\, Senator Kent Conrad pushed to get official recognition of PTSD via a “day of awareness” in tribute to a North Dakota National Guard member who took his life following two tours in Iraq (S. Res. 541). Staff Sergeant Joe Biel died in 2007 after suffering from PTSD; Biel committed suicide after his return from duty to his home state. SSgt. Biel’s birthday\, June 27\, was selected as the official PTSD Awareness Day\, which is now observed every year. In 2014\, the Senate designated the full month of June for National PTSD Awareness (S. Res. 481). \nHow Do People Observe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Day?\nMuch of what is done to observe PTSD Awareness Day involves encouraging open talk about PTSD\, its’ causes\, symptoms\, and most important of all\, getting help for the condition. PTSD is\, even in modern times\, often misunderstood by those with no firsthand experience with the condition or those who suffer from it. PTSD Awareness Day is designed to help change that. \nThe Department of Defense publishes circulars\, articles\, and other materials to help educate and inform military members and their families about the condition. The Department of Veterans Affairs official site has several pages dedicated to PTSD\, and when military members retiring or separating from the service fill out VA claim forms for service-connected injuries\, illnesses\, or disabilities\, there is an option to be evaluated for PTSD as a part of the VA claims process.

SUMMARY:Memorial Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday\, commemorating those who have died in military service to their country. It is observed annually on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day – an occasion to decorate the graves of the war dead – and was created in the aftermath of the American Civil War. Observances are held at military graveyards\, cemeteries and memorials\, and military themed parades are held across the country. Join us as we and our families observe and remember our fallen comrades. Wreaths will be placed on the graves of fallen warriors in cemeteries across this land; parades will fill the streets of towns and cities; ceremonies and speeches will be observed and heard. And faithful people will turn aside from the “holiday” to observe a “holy day” of prayer for those who have given their lives in the service of this nation and the cause of freedom.
