Thank you so much! Means a lot. I've been going to Group meetings now for years. It's coming around, they don't fix you but teach you how to deal with PTSD.

Thanks again!

In my night class I just had a guest speaker who is an Iraq veteran come in and speak about PTSD. That way it wasn't about me as a combat vet alone, but about shedding some light on what we talk about healing from here.

It was a good night. . He was a good speaker. Talked about flashbacks, hyperarousal, dissociating, startle response, good stuff.

I am tired, though.

Be well, my friends.

Tim O'Brien, author of "The Things They Carried" spoke at our school on Monday. A great speaker. Said a LOT about his perspectives as a veteran.

I think the govt should forever take care of any service member who was drafted into a war against their choice. Land of the free??? Not when you've got PTSD, thanks to a bunch of suits in DC who decide to put OTHER people on the enemy line.

You're right, Deli, and VA hospitals should be palaces.

That's so great that you had O'Brien speak at your school.

I wanted to join in on this post. I wanted to personally thank all of the veterans who have fought for the beautiful United States Of America. You are the true definition of hero.
