what a sad reality to face.

I had a conversation with an activist for PTSD awareness and support a few months ago.

His personal story was much like Manny's but in his case it drove him to activism.
His battle with deep depression was ongoing but he channeled all of his energy into helping his comrades.

So many lives have been destroyed, and the casualties continue to mount.
