I am sorry if this brings back bad memories to anybody.

My posting this was in NO WAY meant to do that.

To Everybody that has Served in a Combat Zone or a Non Combat Zone I Thank You for Your Service.

I was talking with My Brother today and He was in Japan during V’Nam and I learned that He was in the Hospital seeing Troops that had been injured and on the way back Home and He can’t watch any type of War shows/movies because of the flashbacks of the Hospital. I never knew about that- as far as I knew he had a desk job doing Payroll. I had no idea that He was working in the Hospital seeing the Wounded.

ottbmare- I Pray every day for Our Military to be kept safe and come Home to their loved ones and Family

I wish All a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thank you for your gentle words. I have never had to go through anything like that. I known some guys that have. The one was recommending some book to the other, and the other said “nope”. The other guy said “Yeah - it took me 35 years to read anything like that without having nightmares.”

Both of them are smart, funny, talkative, engaging - but obviously had some darkness they shoved way back down there somewhere. Which is fine.

I knew Chris Kyle, I live in his home town, my son played on his little league team. We are all so proud of him and this movie that shows his life, faith, and family.

I’ll proudly watch this movie and forever will think Jesse Ventura is a scum bag.
