Our Mission:

To educate and inform both the general public and families of combat veterans about Combat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and offering the healing and peace of God.

Who We are:

The Hidden Front is a campaign for the awareness of Combat Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as Combat PTSD. Our family has personally experienced the effects of Combat PTSD, as a family member suffers from it from serving almost two years in Iraq with Operation Iraqi Freedom. As a result of our continued experience with this injury of war, we wish to spread awareness about it. As the name suggests, it is a hidden front. This is a battle fought in the mind and the heart of a combat soldier who has received these hidden wounds—the wounds of the heart. Such injuries are not visible and are often kept hidden by combat soldiers. However, as our family has experienced, these hidden wounds effect every aspect of a combat soldier’s life, whether it be immediately upon returning from war, several months later, or several years later. We wish with all our being that first of all, combat soldiers have the resources necessary to recognize when they have suffered from such wounds and need healing. Second, we wish to help families of combat soldiers understand more about these wounds and how they can be a support system and aide in the healing of their soldier’s heart. Finally, we wish to make the general public aware of these wounds so that they may be ready whenever a combat soldier needs help.  As our family experienced, there is not much easily accessible information about Combat PTSD or anything to prepare you for what to watch for when your soldier comes home from war. We hope that through this campaign we can provide resources for soldiers, their families, and the general public that will aide in the recognition and healing of the wounds that are so often left unspoken and bleeding inside. One of the resources we will offer is the healing power of Jesus Christ. Though some effects of the wound may never go away, the soldier can experience healing.
