In Mike A. Glasch's, article "Battling PTSD" (2007) he incorporates a soldier's story with statistics gathered from research to create a heartfelt story. Glasch starts off his article with an interview between him and Spc Eric Goins, a soldier who is suffering from PTSD. The story includes how Spc. Goins found out he had PTSD, when he thought it occurred, and how he reached out for help. The heartfelt story encompassed the reader in emotion and gave them a sense of a relationship with the soldier and even any soldier going through the issues of PTSD. Glasch continues his article by providing the reader information about PTSD and what the government and health professionals are doing to help the individuals affected by it. Glasch also mentioned the difference between PTS and PTSD which I believe was crucial information to the reader. Glasch's use of words, his ability to tell the soldier's story, and the information he provided the reader comprised to article.
