Sorry for the loss of a real hero. I know what you’re going through as my best friend from my unit in Nam is becoming a short timer due to the effects of Agent Orange. He’s getting great care from the VA as I am too as in the past couple of years the VA has improved 100% with the new Choice Program. Glad he shared a bit of the ugly with you as that’s therapeutic for PTSD and showed that he trusted you more that you can ever know. Most of us share the good with our friends, while keeping the bad and the ugly to only fellow vets and ourselves. He must have loved you as a brother, so cherish his memories for the rest of your days as he and others like him have contributed to what true Americans stand for, the freedom to become a productive member of this great nation by giving back. Slow salute.
