[Fic] Learning to Live
Jan. 10th, 2011 06:11 pmTitle: Learning to Live
Pairing: America
Genre: AU, Introductions 'Verse. Human Names
Rating: PG-17
Summary: The story of how Alfred learned to live again, after it all happened.
Notes: This story is sort of inspired by an ex-Vet who suffered from PTSD. He passed away recently and we found out he'd served in Vietnam, and wound up here, homeless and alone after many years of not being able to function in society.
http://www.ptsd.va.gov/ is one of the many groups offering support for Vets who suffer from this. 3/4 of the men and women who wind up on the streets suffer from some form of PTSD before they end up on the streets. By being aware of PTSD and no longer treating it as an imagined disease we can help to prevent our returning Vets from ever winding up on the streets. I think it's the very least we can do for them and we should do more.
