The news that a special force of Navy Seals cornered Osama bin Laden, mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, and killed him during a firefight has heartened Americans everywhere, while reminding them of the sacrifices made by our veterans, active-duty military, and their families in the decade-long war on terror. The American Psychiatric Association has partnered with Give an Hour, a national network of psychiatirsts and mental health professionals who volunteer their services to members of the military, veterans, and their families.
