Mark Wills
May 2, 2011
Country artist Mark Wills and USA Cares (a non-profit national military assistance charity founded to assist post 9/11 military families in emotional health and recovery, and bearing the burdens of service with financial and advocacy support), have joined hands to introduce and officiate a national awareness campaign surrounding the severity of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Wills, who has been working with USA Cares since 2009 and its "Warrior Treatment Today," program, will lend his time, talents and music as the official spokesperson, and USA Cares "voice," in the newly organized "Crazy Being Home" outreach to encourage and support America's post 9/11 veterans and assist in raising funds for the PTSD and TBI programs to enable these individuals to return to a "normal life" as we know it here at home.
Wills has special insight into the needs of our Troops, made more than seven trips to Iraq and Afghanistan entertaining our men and women overseas.
In existence for the past two years, the publicly funded USA Cares "Warrior Treatment Today," program, has collected over $800,000 enabling more than 500 OIF/OEF veterans residential treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
