Well its great in a way of being home, I cant get enough grass cutting it looks so much better than sand. Although in dealing with the PTSD (BS) it seems like there is something missing that adrenenlin rush you know. It is so very weird I am so glad to be back and safe but yet a little part of me wants to go back I cant of course but the ramdom feeling like I could do some good there.I think in a way its scary or maybe funny from being lived in so much danger but the thought to go back to again serve, I guess what I am trying to say is that there are so many young people that just dont get it, I mean there freedom and the duty to fight to keep it. Now watching the news so many crimes and why ? I beleive that if these want to be gang bangers had to go to Iraq or Afgan once home there train of thought just be a little more focused something like respect for there elders, personal property ect. Its just sad. Now we or at least I am looked to as the weird one. I dont know about them but I know that the Vets know what the flag stands for the Red, White & Feild of Blue even the truck on top of the pole or staff, the blood shed the tears that fell to remain a free nation, and most of all the self pride to know that I am a brother of the Men and Women alike that have helped keep this nation free. In closing I thank and commend ALL fellow vets out there for there duty a sacerfices given in doing there job always at 110% with no exceptions. God be with all
