Ahmed Mohamed makes a ‘clock’ that looks like a briefcase bomb and gets an invite to the White House. But Tyler Skluzacek? Obama probably won’t ever know who he is.

Senior Tyler Skluzacek said he was in sixth grade when his dad, Sgt. First Class Patrick Skluzacek, spent a year in Iraq. It had a huge impact. His dad returned with PTSD and night terrors. So Tyler’s team created an app they say helps prevent them.

VIDEO: War Vet Was Ready To Give Up… Then An Unlikely Hero Stepped In


New WhatDidYouSay Logo

There has been much written, and many specials on television about this subject of “Service-Dogs”. I can testify of it’s success, because I am a Vietnam Veteran with severe PTSD. Although my dog is not a trained Service Dog, I can testify of the healing power he has brought to me life, and how he has helped me to fight off the depression that caused me to seek food for comfort, and ballooned up to 394 pounds. When I started walking with Milo, God used him and his enthusiasm to go on our walks, to lift me out of deep/ life hating depression. Along with a special diet, encouragement from my wife children and grandchildren, I am not 245 pounds, and looking forward to reaching my goal weight of 185 pounds (what I weighed on my return from Vietnam).

This is a wonderful video, and story. I truly hope it will motivate you to commit these veterans with prayer, and if possible, financially.

Unlikely Hero for war vet
Returning from service with tremendous guilt that he survived when so many of the troops had died, Erick suffered acute Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  He tried support groups, medication, therapy and more but could never control his panic attacks or night frights.  He scared the people around him and hit out at those closest to him.  Then he heard about the service animal program.  Just watch the video to see how these amazing animals sense the attack or agitation building and how they stop it before it starts.

No human can do what the support dogs can.  Not all heroes are human!

WATCH THE VIDEO!
