You've served in the military, so you know the mental toll a term of service can take on a soldier. In fact, you know better than anyone what kinds of psychological challenges a service member can experience while on duty.

But what if you came back from serving your country and your country refused to validate your wounds? Or worse, reversed your diagnosis?

Psychologists at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington have been overturning PTSD diagnoses for hundreds of veterans, in what many see as an attempt to avoid providing the costly health care associated with PTSD. Retroactively reversing these diagnoses without the proper insight not only puts veterans in danger, but it also shows a severe lack of communication between the hospital and its patients.

**Ask our Defense Secretary to examine each reversal on a case-by-case basis and to bring consequences to those at Madigan Army Medical Center involved with them.**
