Dear Marine Corps Family,
In this issue, we address the families of Marines that
have recently returned from Iraq that may have
questions about PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder). We're also highlighting a page on the web
site with basic information about the United States
Marine Corps that every Marine family member should
know.
The Texas premier of "My Child" will be shown
after the MarineParents.com conference at the
Crowne Plaza Houston Downtown on Sunday, April 23
at 3:00 p.m.

Help for Families of Returning Marines

PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
With the recent return of many battalions from Iraq,
there are more questions about Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) including what to look for and
whether or not to be concerned with "new
behaviors" you may be seeing in your Marine.
We offer an online PTSD discussion group as well
as resources to help families with questions.
Information on the discussion group and the
resources area can be found using the link below.
We also recommend the book "Down Range To
Iraq and Back" which is available from Amazon.com
from a link on our web site. We are offering a free
copy to all Conference attendees as well as dinner
guests and Evening Event ticket holders in Houston,
April 21-23, 2006.
