HANOVER PARK, IL - APRIL 27: Army veteran Brad Schwarz plays with his three-year-old daughter Arabella and service dog Panzer at his home April 27, 2012 in Hanover Park, Illinois. Schwarz, who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), uses a service dog to help him cope with issues related to the disorder which he has dealt with since returning from a 2008 tour in Iraq. In addition to suffering from PTSD Schwarz has memory loss related to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and he must walk with a cane because of vertebrae and nerve damage in his back and legs. Ten days before he was scheduled to rotate home from a 15-month deployment in Iraq, his second, the Humvee in which he was riding was struck by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). Of the 5 soldiers riding in the vehicle, which caught fire after the explosion, Schwarz was the only one to survive.
