Default Re: Post Traumatic Stress

Well said Jack.

I know of one WWII veteran who still has issues with his experiences. I was even told by his friend not to ask about his life during the war. And I respected that. I was told, after having a fun morning of listening to this gentleman talk of his kids and grandkids, that he watched his best friend die in a foxhole they shared. He was never the same after that, his veteran friend told me.
