    Just a quick note to say "Thanks" for your service and sacrifices...and in sincere appreciation of the sacrifices of your brothers in arms you represent. I'm up in the Chico area- give me a heads up if I can ever be of any assistance.

    I feel so bad, because i think you of all people actually deserve to go back, based on your pictures and your heart. But it is also good you took the time to help others out with it. i think your probably one of the sweetest killers i have ever talked to! lol. My uncle was a LT Colonel and he never wanted to retire because he spent his years working from enlisted up...and to this day its still a little hard for him to talk about it. He had Ptsd for awhile wasnt too bad, only time i can rememer is when he came home on fourth of july and the first firework that went off he scooped me into his arms and threw himself on me....I didn't understand then but now I finally get it.

    Hello Marine,

    I was reading what you said about getting help for PTSD. Have a friend who I think needs it. Infantry combat vet from Vietnam. Khe Sanh '68. Also a squad leader. Many of his buddies didn't make it. From the info on your profile I think you understand.

    Lots of booze but he functions well. Strong Marine who doesn't want to be weak and ask for help. Maybe doesn't think he needs it most of the time. Keeps in good shape. Disciplined. Any ideas? He loves to talk to Marines so I'm thinking that may be the way to approach the PTSD issue. No email. Location is Northern CA. (SF and Lake Co.). Know any resources or good contacts?

    Thank you for all you and others did for our freedom. Some paid with their lives, but others are still paying due to PTSD and other problems. Your message and others on this forum gave me some hope about the PTSD issue. Thanks. Semper Fi!
