Friday, June 27, 2025 is National PTSD Awareness Day. This Community Project, spearheaded by Marion County Public Relations, is being held to raise consciousness about PTSD and help local resources that are available to those who suffer from it.

Marion County is selling quality, dry fit t-shirts for $25 each and then dispensing the funding to local organizations who help our Hometown Heroes with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. 

It's LOCAL DOLLARS HELPING LOCAL VETERANS & FIRST RESPONDERS.

This year's t-shirt is a dry fit brand that you'll find comfortable to wear, even in the warmest of Florida weather! It is gray in color with attractive teal designs on the front left chest area and on the back, where Old Glory is majestically displayed under the slogan "TOGETHER WE FIGHT." 

On one shirt design, the PTSD ribbon logo and "25" appears on the right short sleeve. 

On a second shirt design, the Marion County Fire Rescue logo appears on the right short sleeve.
