NIU student publishes book on the plight of our country's returning troops

This is a short writeup, from the campus paper on Ilona and her Dedication.

Tragedy changes people.

And has sent Ilona on a journey that will make for change for many who don't understand PTSD and those who suffer from!

Meagher, a junior journalism major, possesses an overwhelming passion for shedding public spotlight on the post-traumatic stress disorder engulfing the souls of so many Iraq war veterans.

Ilona has shown such a dedication and drive, on the subject of PTSD, that myself and other vets have only seen in a few others. Hopefully that dedication will wake up this present generation to take hold of this and understand what damage it can cause for societies and the individual. It was basicly put on the backburner, even though there are many others out there with the dedication to study and learn, and also try and get their information out there, but there numbers were small before, lets hope those numbers increase a thousand fold!

Meagher's book, "Moving the Nation to Care," will be released by Ig Publishing on May 1.

Congradulations Ilona, from this Veteran and tens of thousands more! And those who never have served PTSD invades many who have gone through traumatic experiances, it isn't just a War Theater Tragedy. Find out what you can and learn to understand the damage it can do to anyone, possibly even you!

This is short and quick as I'm off to work. Pick up a copy and start the journey with Ilona to Help those who suffer from, and to better understand your own and everyones minds!
