Every 13 Hours, a Vet commits Suicide
That’s not counting those suffering daily with ongoing PTSD. “Joshua's Tree” was written to help stop this horrific trend by making this Movie for Veterans, By Veterans.
​"Joshua's Tree" started as a Vet writing for Vets of the daily struggle living with PTSD. To put to words what many face daily without a break: A Never Ended mental movie of horrors experienced while serving. Many do not realize the level of this all across the board of military service, not just high profile jobs like SpecOps, Snipers, and so forth. Peace can be an ugly but necessary business. And these men and women paid the price for us.
​
Through the JTM (Joshua's Tree Movie) Project, we want to lift many Veterans out of this daily hell and give them a new focus and purpose through acting roles and support needed to physically make this movie. Unfortunately, this is not something mainstream is interested in as it comes with great humanitarian effort, but little fanfare and money.
​
We can do better than this. Our service members have given so much, to get so little in return. This is about a way to give back in multiple formats. Still reading? Good. It shows you care. Keep reading...
Bringing Awareness to the Non-Service Community
Part One...
Part Two...
Part of the reason it is so tough to garner attention for vets and family of those who have served is because there is this huge misnomer that Uncle Sam will always take care of those who served. And while things have been created over the years with Veterans Affairs heading up hospitals and different programs, the stats tell us we are still experiencing a huge gap of those suffering in silence until it's too late.
Joshua's Tree brings awareness to the general public about a silent and shame-filled killer in our veteran community.
Not only is the JTM Project going to turn a light bulb on in many civilians, it will also create jobs for so many veterans. How? Because we want this movie from a book written by a veteran to be staffed with vets from extras to any part we can get a vet in. In fact , if you or someone you know is a vet that would like to participate as a movie extra or has skills in the film industry, we'd love to have them reach out to us. We are compiling our lists now for every conceivable part.
Part Three...
We need your help. Joshua's Tree is an independent grass roots film that is being made by the donations of caring people like you. The Price of Coffee can make a life change for a Vet. Consider giving $5, $10, Even $20 or more. We are accepting donations as well as looking to partner with veteran owned companies for product placement and more.
