My heart aches for the young people coming back, they left home suspecting to see and feel th war around them but none expected to be entrenched d so mentally. I have suffered from PTSD for forty years and just in the last two finally decided to get help. I pray each day for the brave men and women who protect us daily. May this young man rest at GOD’s Side, his dreams be fulfilled, his love for God, Family and Country Never be Forgotten, may the spring rain wash his face, and the Summer Sun warm his path. Amen

“I have suffered from PTSD for forty years and just in the last two finally decided to get help.”

Your the example that will hopefully help shift the military’s culture from one of “Only p*ssies see shrinks” and “ If you see one, you’re a wimp” that is so prevalent.

You can say, I saw the horrors, it f*cked me up for years, I finally got help, it’s working, I’m better because of it andyou should not be afraid to go.

A VERY powerful message.
