Thank you all for your service to our nation, past and through your present efforts to address important issues.

Please, make sure this young man knows he is not alone. It has to be hell for him and probably only other vets would really know the pitfalls.

Thanks again

1. Thanks Mom

I've been chatting with him on occasion by PM. He's been very receptive to advice.

2. Figured you were one of the gents in the corner with this young man

And those of us who haven't served do appreciate the help you vets are able to lend your brothers and sisters. There is much we can have empathy with, but clearly, there is too much we just can't fully appreciate or understand.

You know how I feel about this, BOSS. Thanks again.

:patriot: to all of you vets, reservists, and active duty personnel

Stay safe.

3. You are too kind Mom

and thanks for the check you all send me the first of the month. I'd like to think that our kids serve so others don't have to but I'm awfully bent out of shape about how they are being forced to serve because of a lack of leadership skills at the very top.

4. LOL, if I were the one actually sending the checks,

the amounts would be different ;) Now, if I were the one sending them from the US Treasury, the amounts would be much more fun for you all!

5. Boss I don't want to butt in on this, but Has he sought any help

from other than the military?? Some of us oldies have had to deal with this for a long time and we know what to expect from PTSD, there is a lot of diffrent programs depending on where he lives, that are free and very good also,, if I can help let me know??? and tell everybody else to keep them checks coming,,,,,,Gambling on college football is an expensive habit. LOL,,, I have Mississippi even aganist LSU.

at least you won't have to go back again if we stop it.
