"You have heard about our soldiers returning from Iraq suffering from post-traumatic syndrome. Our soldiers from other wars such as World War II, Korea and Vietnam also suffered from the same illness but it was called different names.

There is an organization of practicing acupuncture specialists who want to use acupuncture to help these men returning from war.

This group is attempting to raise money to match a grant to use acupuncture in the treatment of these soldiers. I have participated and believe it can help. I fully support the efforts of this organization."
