Here’s a young man who should be getting an invite to the White House, but I wouldn’t hold my breath…
Via Young Cons:
Our military veterans are remarkable individuals who give up much of their lives to defend our nation and our freedom, often times coming home to little or no support in exchange for their sacrificial service.
The government cares little about our veterans as you can tell from the atrocious conditions of the VA, and modern liberal culture vilifies the military on a regular basis, so who is left to care for these wounded warriors?
We the people, of course, and it’s an honor to do so.
One young man exemplifies this sort of attitude perfectly.
His father is an Iraq War veteran who suffers from night terrors due to PTSD. In order to help his old man out, the college student invented this extraordinary app.
Here are a few additional details from USA Today:
Macalester College senior Tyler Skluzacek said he was in sixth grade when
his dad, Sgt. 1st Class Patrick Skluzacek, spent a year in Iraq.
Patrick Skluzacek now has night terrors, which according to the Mayo Clinic, “are episodes of screaming, intense fear and flailing while still asleep.”
Tyler decided to “try to create something that will help (his father) sleep better. That’s what it’s all about.”
Tyler and his team, “The Cure,” wrote code and created a smart watch app called myBivy, short for bivouac — a temporary camp or shelter.
The app tracks heart rate and movement with the goal to predict night terrors.
