That’s awesome! Kilmer is by far your most loveable character and an excellent central character. I can discern a lot about your own experiences through him. Reminds me a lot of my buddy Allan, God rest his soul.

He did 5 tours in Iraq as a Sgt. in the USMC. Never wanted to leave, came back home, couldn’t adjust, and took his own life one morning after breakfast. I miss him greatly, and this story would’ve made him proud.

Thank you, Matt!

That's so very sad about your buddy Allan.

It makes the dedication page of Castigo Cay that much more poignant.
