On the eve of the Marine Corps Birthday, I received this e-mail forward.....please read it.....if you are an OIF or Afghan Vet, don't , and I mean this most sincerely, don't ever feel you are alone.(that goes for the rest of you vets too) there are enough guys here and available that are willing to meet with you, talk, or just communicate on the web......don't withdraw.....you are in the fight of your life right now, and its for your soul.
Don't give up...there is always a way out and it is not, I repeat, not dangle...or a cap. Please don't ever give up.
Read this e-mail and see the pain in this mans letter.....and grieve for this young Marine and family, but don't give up and follow his lead. use it to strengthen your own resolve. I know there is someone who will read this tonight and see themselves. I am praying for you right now and don't even know you.
here is the e-mail.
I'm sorry I can't make it tonight. You see my young Marine, My grandson killed himself last night. Just six weeks after returning from Iraq. Another victim of war. He was so young, like most of us who went to war and return home not knowing how to get help with our feelings. These are UN-know victims that the public hears very little about. I ask that you keep My doughtier and all of my family in your prayers. I just pray that God gives me the strength to make it through today.
Jerry we need to do more to help these young Men and Women who are returning from these war zones. We need to reach out as far as we can to help these young Men and Women and their families.
May God Bless you All
