I think of those who came home from battlefields and faced - and ultimately succumbed - to their own invisible war with mental health problems compounded by the horrors they experienced.

To quote George Carlin, “If we still called it ‘Shellshock’ instead of ‘Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder’, those vets would have gotten the help they needed at the time.”

If a veterans sacrifice means anything it's certainly means more than one day. Every day is Memorial Day if you love your freedom. Remember that somewhere a young American never stopped being nineteen on a foreign battlefield and is still standing a post. God bless them all.

My war was a long time ago, rest in peace, Brothers.

At my VA clinic the first two questions they ask are:
Are you OK?
Do you want to hurt yourself or someone else?

I’m Vietnam era vet. Service connected disabled. Some of my service was to make sure aircraft(B-52) that could end the world were fully operational.
I was crawling around Nukes at age 18.
I was never shot at, but there were some incidents
that I thought we all were going to die.
Incidents the public was never told about.
All dead/disabled veterans deserve our collective
appreciation, mine included.

To all veterans, thank you for your service! This Deplorable Family always tell the military thank you because the Tampa Bay area is home to McDill. As my friend has on a t-shirt, All Gave Some, Some Gave All. He was in Nam.

I just read it all, and shared on TS and X.

I don’t have anything to add, except some tears.
