“It was difficult to find information because Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was called shell shock during W.W.II, and when Vietnam Vets were found to suffer from the same symptoms after exposure to traumatic war scenes, a study was embarked upon that ended with the new, more appropriate name in 1980. Thomas was diagnosed with P.T.S.D. shortly afterwards, before the term P.T.S.D. was common.”

“The troops were cracking because they could not absorb what was happening to them, because they knew themselves to be utterly powerless (bravery had little survival value when one was on the receiving end of a bombardment), and because they had no confidence that the generals who had put them in danger knew what they were doing. Men whose courage was beyond challenge could and did break down if subjected to enough strain of this kind.”

“In life, you are never alone. You feel this way when you keep looking for support and help at closed doors that never open themselves willingly to you no matter how much you knock on them. Sometimes, support comes in the form of angels disguised as humans and sometimes help comes in the form of adversity that takes on the shape of devastation, hardships and problems.”
