When I came home in 1970 I swore I would never have a gun again. I was tired of killing. Well Joe and Obama changed my mind. I have to be ready to protect my family and country

Tell me how did the ruling disrespect you? Where in the constitution or bill of rights say anything about abortion? It simply said its not a federal issue. Its a state issue.
Those 13 weeks made a country boy into a man and a U.S. Marine. The most feared and respected fighters in the world. After all the abuse I suffered when I returned from Nam and my injuries. I would do it all over again
And just like that, the hairs on your body stand up. They aren't Marines yet, but after 13 weeks, they will be the most deadly killers in the world. Seems like just yesterday I was sitting on that floor listening to Sgt. Roman, my senior DI, and Sgt. Salas. Had an all Sgt team
Today I'm saying goodbye to my best friend and the 1 who has helped me thru my darkest PTSD. He is small in stature but he has the heart and attitude of a Marine. I'm beyond sad goid bye Sid Vicious,join Chesty.
Pentagon just announced no additional troops will be sent to Afghanistan. Said we had enough troops to protect ourselves. I know of 12 Marines who don't think so.

is a reality to me. I've come Close to being 1 of the 22 a few times. PTSD and pain are hard deal day in and day out. Others don't understand what you go through. It drives many into addiction from pain meds or they turn to alcohol or other drugs. REACH OUT
I'm taking some time away. Doctor called and my labs shoe my kidneys aren't functioning correctly. I may have kidney failure. So having several tests over next few weeks. Stay strong and Semper Fi
They are charging the Marine who choked the man on subway. You can't protect people because the criminal has all the rights. This country has gone to sh**
It's late and the demons are out. Those dark hole are starting engulf. The visions become more vivid, the pain getting stronger. It all overwhelming. You just want it stop. Noone cares your suffering. You'll do anything to stop. Including dying.That'swhat many vets feel right now
Our veterans have seen things you should be glad you never experienced. They did it with courage and never complained,protecting you. The war has followed them home. Reach out show your appreciation and save them.

I text everyday about PTSD and helping veterans. Why? Because since I was 23 tears old Ive battled it. Thought about suicide, felt useless. Thanks to friends I've been able to keep going. I want to help others. Reach out we are here for you.

Many vets gave felt neglected for 50 years. Now our young vets are joining the neglected. Just say hi or welcome home. You have no idea what those words can mean. They can bring a tear.

I'm not how everyone else is feeling today I feel a little more anxious and angry than usual.I also wish I was years younger because I think this country is in for a very rough time ahead. Iwould put my utilities back on.I would go again. But I damn sure will defend this country

Why are they afraid to show their face? I'm an American and hate Palestine and hamas. I don't hide my face. I'm proud to let people know my thoughts and beliefs
On March 29,please show these warriors the love and respect they deserve but didn't get 50 years ago. You have no idea what a Thank You will mean to them.
This is PTSD month. How many of you have bothered to reach out to a veteran. Even you if you suffer from PTSD calling a brother will help you both. Ive suffered for 50 years but trying to help others helps me
It's been said previously but tonight is a very good time to contact any veteran you know. Even if they aren't having suicidal thoughts they are feeling anxious stressed maybe scared. Just say hi it will help you both. Maybe just meditate for a few minutes to relax.
