Was in Iraq at the beginning. Hard tours. Bad results. He might benefit from the perspectives vets could give him.

Thank you for your service then and your service now.

Thank you.

3. I'm just a conduit. Maybe Monkeyman is using me this evening.

It would be my honor if that good soul moved my fingers on the keyboard to call friends to lend an assist.

6. Hey, thanks for going over and giving him some support

Please tell me that it helps. There are so many who need so much from us and most of us don't have a clue how to help them.

Thanks again, Kim.

8. Such a small gesture for someone who gave all.

I can not imagine the pain. Peace, Kim

9. Sometimes it is the small gesture, the most subtle movement

that can make the difference.

4. I sent this young troop a message, don't know if he got it

there is help avaliable, from people who have been there and know what he is going thru. But he needs to contact me so I can him the information, we offer no cures just help and hope and maybe some skills to deal with PTSD, Thanks for your concern for this young man.

5. Thank you for getting on it.

He seems to be a bit bolstered now. We must remember to stay with him

We must remember so many.

7. The fact that he wrote the article means he has taken the first step

toward healing, but it takes time, I have been at it for 25yrs,, I started before it even had a name, they used to call it a personality disorder,,,

10. No, they just called it a personality disorder

in YOUR case.

j/k

I BTDT too. In my case it was a series of "personality disorders." Shit, maybe they were right.

[lazer47]

11. No!! in either case mine or yours it is still PTSD,, it's the Gov.

that has the personality disorder
