Not exactly on topic, but I'm reminded of Lew Puller, who took his own life 11 May 1994, after a quarter century of suffering from the wounds he had sustained in Vietnam. I've always thought that he, and others like him, should be carried on the rolls as "Died of Wounds" and should have their names placed on the Wall with their Fallen Brothers-in Arms.
Lew's grave in Arlington is about 30 feet from that of my parents. Every time I visit them, I visit him as well, and pray in gratitude for his sacrifice and for the Eternal Salvation of his gallant soul.
