U.S. Veterans with PTSD Find "Common Bond" and Healing in Israel
(NBC News) Dave Copeland and Peter Jeary - Female U.S. war vets are finding help for their post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Israel - and speak of a "common bond" shared with their Israeli counterparts. Heroes to Heroes, a New Jersey-based nonprofit, organizes trips designed to provide emotional and spiritual healing for groups of 10 vets to meet Israeli counterparts suffering from similar problems. Veteran Kamilla Miguel, 27, who served in Afghanistan, said she was impressed by the supportive bond shared by the former IDF women she met. "All the women in the U.S. should feel how they feel with each other, with this common bond and connection, it's amazing."
