And, as other commenters have pointed out, we do not do near enough for our soldiers going through this hell. I think his books (I read some of the reviews online) should be required reading for all Presidential candidates - nowadays, it seems, all too few have served in combat or combat support.Alanahttp://ramblinwitham.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321251.post-20839381646031841302016-07-18T14:16:54.995-04:002016-07-18T14:16:54.995-04:00This is a nice idea, as it puts a face to a name a...This is a nice idea, as it puts a face to a name and cover of a book.

They are getting help, but they could get more!Nick #thisyearinmusichttps://thisyearinmusic.wordpress.com/2016/07/18/18072016-cool-ghouls-days-2016/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321251.post-69229552326320976802016-07-18T12:55:06.739-04:002016-07-18T12:55:06.739-04:00Yes, I agree that we need to take better care of o...Yes, I agree that we need to take better care of our soldiers and to make sure that all of them get the help that they need. The suicide rate is shocking. It is heartbreaking to know that people are dying because their cries for help are being ignored.<br />Alice Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843884715361277163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321251.post-30954695577225286902016-07-18T12:48:51.129-04:002016-07-18T12:48:51.129-04:00It sounds like he's okay now.
