                                           RESEARCH; READING AND REFERENCE

               I have included this section for further reading and reference as a kick-start for you to do your own
               research.

               This information is provided for your independent research.  I do not imply support nor endorse any
               organization over or above another.

               Do your own research.  Contact these and other Veteran’s groups then decide where to get help.

               Ask for help. You’ve earned it.  You deserve it.  Be proud of your service and do not be or feel ashamed.

                                       Do not feel you must face it alone.  Help is available.
