Marine Lt. Col. Mike Corrado has written a song about surviving Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder called "Still in the Fight." And the men featured in the video are real life survivors. They include Marine Master Sgt. William "Spanky" Gibson, Marine Cpl. Aaron Mankin, and Lance Cpl. Kyle Carpenter.

Corrado tells YouTube:

Proceeds from "Still in the Fight" go towards the USO's Wounded Warrior Family Centers initiative. You can click here to buy and download the song.
