Sometimes Veterans ask,

"How do I know if I'm ready for treatment?"

Well, if you wait, you're never going to be ready.

Getting ready for treatment is like,

how do I know I'm ready to get in better shape?

How do I know I'm ready to be a better father?

How do I know I'm ready to be a better person?

If you're feeling pain, you're ready for treatment.

If you can't do the things you used to do

before you served your country, you're ready for treatment.

If your freedom has been impinged, diminished, restricted

because you fought for our freedom,

you're ready for treatment.

Don't wait until you feel ready for treatment.

That might never come.

If you see signs that you can't do what you used to do,

then you're ready for treatment.
