• KSDK (St. Louis, MO) - PTSD: The Mental Health War After Going To War (includes video)
• Lawrence Journal-World (KS) - Veteran Fights for Help as He Copes with Stress (includes area where you can leave your own comments)
• The Bay City Times (MI) - Help Pours In (passionate story of a local soldier dealing with his injuries and PTSD).
• KGET (Bakersfield, CA) - Soldiers Facing Post Traumatic Stress after War (includes video)
• WBIR (Knoxville, TN) - After Iraq, 278th Members Face Adjustment Challenges (includes slideshow)
