In announcing his plan to keep the sacred contract with Veterans by addressing the pain of long-lasting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), once again, John Edwards shows his deep understanding of human suffering and his commitment to finding remedies for the wounds of injustice and injury.
Bravo, Senator Edwards!! In all my years as a Clinical Social Worker in the field of Mental Health, where I have specialized in the treatment of PTSD for refugees and war victims and other victims, I can never recall a presidential candidate who has taken up the cause of our veterans who suffer the consequences of devastating PTSD.

How wonderfully astonishing this is, and it only tells me what we can expect under a John Edwards progressive populist presidency. A really compassionate and empathetic advocate for us all! Imagine it, and make it happen.
