June is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Month, and I would like to take this time to recognize an organization in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, that works to rehabilitate heroes who struggle with this illness. Since 2014, Shamrock Reins in Pipersville has offered equine therapy to help veterans and first responders recover from PTSD. Founded by Janet Brennan, a registered nurse whose father served in the Vietnam war, Shamrock Reins uses a range of equine services, including riding therapy, to help assimilate our servicemen and -women back into society following their tours of duty. As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I am continually in awe of the sacrifices that our soldiers and our first responders make every day. I applaud Janet for her service to our Nation's heroes, and I encourage all of our constituents to follow her lead. Together, we can defeat PTSD. ____________________
