Today, I read the unfortunate news of SPC Dwyer's (pictured above) death. This hero died from problems related to Post Traumatic Stress.
I am unbelievably angry and hurt-probably more so than I should be. Many a nights has my phone rung in the middle of the night, and many a times have I had to sit down and say "Soldier, you have a problem. We need to get you help."
And it sucks when they slip from our fingers.

Do you hear the 'Whispering cries of the Angels' for help -- HE DOES.
Where were we when his 'Whispering cry' for help went unheard.
Be at Peace Warrior YOUR time in Hell is done.
War does cause a lot of stress... if you know any war vets, talk to them. I reach out to others all the time....as a cop I've run into a few who had PTSD from past and current wars. When I show up, and they find out who I am, we can talk...they know I'll listen...and get them help.
