I was treated for PTSD because of time I spent in the service of this country. I refused to pursue a disability because I felt my life would be better if I got out every day and went to work like anybody else. Some country we live in. No parade, no thanks, and now this crap. I will never be disarmed. NEVER.

1. HR 2640 actually reverses the Clinton Administration's arbitrary decision to put 98,000 PTSD suffering veterans on the national background check ban list, and prohibits the federal government from doing this in the future.

2. You have my thanks. I don't know which war you came back from and felt unappreciated, but there are a tremendous number of Americans you will never meet that respect you and your comrades who have fought on behalf of this country. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

3. Your decision to not let PTSD become an excuse is both admirable and probably better for you in the long run.

Thanks for your comments, and thank you for clarifying the issue. I never really expected a parade, but neither did I expect what did happen.

I’d do it all again.
