    Post-traumatic stress disorder among our Service members is a serious issue, and I'm glad these wives are doing something to try to help:

    It started on Facebook when one wife posted a picture of herself with a poem written on her back:

    The poem reads:

    "Broken by battle,
    Wounded by war,
    I love you forever,
    To you this I swore:
    I will quiet your silent screams,
    Help heal your shattered soul
    Until once again, my love, you are whole."

    Politicians love calling these people "heroes," but they sure as hell don't treat them that way.
