RELATED VIDEO: Derek Henderson Interviews

Derek Henderson's hands shook as he held the railing on the Clark Memorial Bridge and stared down at the dark waters of the Ohio River.

A few feet away stood Aisha "Nikki" McGuire and her boyfriend, Patrick Craig, who had spotted Henderson while driving by. They begged him not to jump -- "It's not worth it," they said.

1. How sad.
The stories about these returning vets are heartbreaking. To have served so willingly, only to return home and not be able to adjust and deal with what they have been asked to do, is so very, very sad.
I hope he is at peace now. :cry:
