KQCD-The North Dakota American Legion is launching a program to help veterans get help.
The program called "Courage Carries On" includes media spots featuring veterans who faced post-traumatic stress disorder telling other veterans that it`s OK to seek help.
The program aims to help veterans deal with stress, military sexual abuse and other problems. Gov. John Hoeven says it`s a matter of "making sure that soldiers and their families get the help they need."
Jim Deremo, who chairs the Legion`s Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Committee, says that if the program saves just one life, it will be worth it.
Deremo says he plans to present the program at the national American Legion convention in August.
