The House would express support for designating June 2025 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month and June 27, 2025, as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day. The resolution highlights the toll of PTSD on the nearly 2.8 million service members who have deployed since 9/11, noting that 11–20% of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffer from it. It calls for reducing stigma, improving access to treatment, and recognizing that PTSD is often a repairable injury rather than a permanent condition.
