  1. Great coverage bringing faces to the often anonymous soldiers serving our country. Your multimedia report shows a nice balance of information (for VA, P2V), humanity, and positiveness often lacking in news. Awesome work, Elizabeth!

  2. What a wonderful story! During difficult times, it's great for people to be reminded of the simple joys in life such as a day at the pool with man's best friend!

  3. I thought your piece was very good. It identifies the problem with PTSD and then offers solutions such as P2V which everyone might not know about. I think it's an upbeat piece for an often devastating illness. I'm glad more awareness is being brought to this issue. The videos are wonderful and add depth to the article. Good job Elizabeth!

  7. Hi, Elizabeth - this is a wonderful story and great coverage of PTSD. I think it is important to bring stories like this to light to reduce the stigma attached to mental illness and encourage veterans to seek support.

    Pets2Vets! What a fantastic organization, this is the first I've heard of it.
