I have a few real good friends suffering from PTSD and one of them shared this song...it hit me hard particularity being my son was born today and he is commissioning in as a USMC officer the day after graduates college.. My grandfather was a WW2 vet and my father Vietnam.. They were messed up as well..when does it end?

 
I am guilty.. I ride by the guys and gals on the intersections with the cardboard signs... Homeless, Hungry. Vet, Help.. I say to myself oh they are just junkies looking for a fix and pride myself in not giving them that fix..as if somehow I am helping the situation. But some are vets suffering from PTSD . addicts maybe? but why? I dont know how to fix it but I know something has to be done.. People who serve this country need to be taken care of when their service is over.. So whats the point? The point is care.. Care about others not so fortunate as you.. Understanding.. Try and understand how they got in that situation.. Help.. If you can help help if not say a prayer for them . something is better than nothing

The horrors of war these guys saw and experienced and those lucky enough to come home and we don't take care of them?,, Its criminal IMO and I dont care if you are a hippie dippie and were against Vietnam.. it doesn't change the fact kids went and fought for you and what they thought was your freedom.. It doesn't matter if it was a political thing.. The guys that went were fighting for your freedom whether it was true or not.. they thought it was
