HANOVER PARK, IL - APRIL 27: Army veteran Brad Schwarz sits in his bedroom with his service dog Panzer at his side 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. Panzer, who sleeps next to Schwarz's bed, is trained to wake him when he has nightmares. 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.
