OUR MISSION

What we do

We are dedicated to educating people regarding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD afflicts so many of our brave veterans and their caregivers.

We offer low cost trailer rentals and direct the proceeds to raise awareness of PTSD. Our trailers also serve as rolling billboards designed to educate people about PTSD which is a leading cause of the 22 veteran suicides that occur every day.^[1]

Pulling for Veterans is looking for 1500 veterans who own small businesses capable of housing three trailers (one of each standard size).

All direct donations, as well proceeds from trailer rentals, go directly towards resources that support veterans suffering the effects of PTSD

Honor your Veteran

Our Mission

We are dedicated to educating people regarding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD impacts so many of our brave veterans, while Secondary PTSD impacts their families and caregivers. We offer low cost trailer rentals and direct the proceeds to resources that raise awareness of PTSD and assist veterans suffering from it. The trailers themselves also serve as rolling billboards designed to educate people about PTSD which is a leading cause of the 22 veteran suicides that occur daily.^[1^]

Pulling for Veterans also offers a unique opportunity to not only provide assistance to deserving veterans, but also honor your veteran with a trailer featuring his or her name and photo as a rolling memorial

What is PTSD?

PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) is a mental health problem that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, like combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault.

It’s normal to have upsetting memories, feel on edge, or have trouble sleeping after this type of event. At first, it may be hard to do normal daily activities, like go to work, go to school, or spend time with people you care about. But most people start to feel better after a few weeks or months.

If it’s been longer than a few months and you’re still having symptoms, you may have PTSD. For some people, PTSD symptoms may start later on, or they may come and go over time.

Secondary PTSD may affect anyone who cares for a veteran suffering from PTSD. Spouses, family members and friends all need education and support from one another in order to help themselves and to provide the best care possible for a loved one suffering from PTSD. Our country has asked these brave veterans, many of whom were volunteers, to do incredible and unsettling things for us so we may live our lives in FREEDOM.

Our media campaign is simple

I and other local veterans, businesses, friends, and veteran organizations help blast it out on social media, Facebook, etc. As social media does its thing, spreading the news, educating and bringing awareness to the populace about PTSD. The populace (small contractors, veterans, friends, homeowners, etc.) will rent a trailer to go pick up large purchases, or landscaping projects, or take your motorcycle to ‘Everyway USA’
