SEE WHAT WE'RE UP TO

We first met Veteran Ken and his pup Harley last September when we took them to the Elyria Animal Hospital. Harely needed up-to-date vaccinations and annual license.

We are sending a Bucket of Love and Hugs to Dr. Alex O'Roark who donated Harley's visit! 

After that it was off to the DogGroomer with Hearts of Patriots Director and Co-Founder, Denise for a special Spa treat.

COMBAT TRAUMA: DID YOU KNOW?

​An estimated 1 in 3 combat service members or veterans suffering from invisible wounds of war including TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and PTSD, are also known as combat trauma.

 

These individuals can experience flashbacks, nightmares, sleeplessness, depression, memory issues, isolation, anxiety, and sudden and unexpected angry outbursts, creating a profound psychological effect on the veteran.​​

 

The emotional and behavioral changes associated with combat are devastating not only for the veteran and their family, an effect that continues well beyond the end of their deployment. In fact, the Journey for the family begins the day their veteran returns home.  

Hearts of Patriots believes the veteran spouse/caregiver is central to the health and well-being of their veteran and is key to holding the family together. Our commitment is to provide support, education, resources, and tools to help veteran families succeed.  Learn about our award-winning Film Documentary, Blood Stripe, A Spouse's Story.

Our Veteran Caregivers live daily with the consequences of war. Let them know they are not forgotten. Your gift provides programs that support our hidden heroes and their families.
