Being a Marine vet myself and living with the nightmares. Were all vets no matter what war we fought in. Trust me we respect what you did and ware you were.
Were lucky because of what you did my time in war was no picnic but was able to do my job better and quicker.
Much love and respect my brother

I am a combat viet nam vet. I served with the US Navy Seals
I came home after two years of the most unthinkable war one can imagine. I saw things, and did things that wake me up in the middle of the night,
44 years later. I came home to boos, hate, intolerance.
So much attention to the vets of Iraq, where about 4000 men died in combat, we had over 50,000 men die in combat. God only knows how many were wounded and disabled, with agent orange and so many more horrible stuff, todays vets, can't imagine. We did not have the kind of medical response the Iraq vets did, and we died on the battlefield, holding hands of our comrades who were lucky enough to survive the day, and fight tomorrow
A little bitter am I, you bet. I served for two years, have two purple hearts, and more medals,I have seen more guys die in my arms, than most of you have friendsw, than I can write here, for what, to hear about how hard it is for todays Vets. I love our vets, and I love my country, but come on guys,, even though most of you were not born yet, guys like me went through hell and back, and no one cares.
This post is not about me, but about the vets who died and fought for our country in places no one cares to remember...Spend some time remembering us, we did our job also.

I think this is a good message to share....I don't know why the pictures didn't load...must be something in how they are encoded...but this does hit close to home and I am sure many of us have clients that are impacted by the war....a good friend and client of mine is dealing with the stress of a husband home from Afghanistan after a second tour of duty...on top of the normal married life issues, she has to support him through the transition to civilian life and worse yet, the stress of finding work in this economic climate.
Whether we agree with the politics of the war or not, we have all been touched by it and need to help in our small way to keep things sane and healthy.
Thanks again!
