I met a SEAL that had 9 Purple Hearts. He did not tell me. He believes in the code of silence. We need a way to honor the quiet warriors of the special forces.
What an honor mountainlion! *Hugs*
There a many who serve that don’t speak of their service...especially to those who did not serve as well.
I once read an article by a Marine Chaplain who said...you put all these experiances in a closet in your mind & you don’t open that door unless your speaking with someone else who has a closet as well. (not quoted for exact language)
