dogfacedoc 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2020 A few months ago I asked for donations to a veterans group a friend of mine had started. I wanted to thank those that donated. Unfortunately two days ago my friend lost his battle with PTSD. He was a fishing buddy, we used to go out to the ponds on Fort Stewart and to the GA tidal creeks on kayaks chasing redfish. We had plans to get together for a smallmouth trip as well as hunting deer. I ask that if any of y'all are in a mindset that suicide seems like the answer, to please reach out to someone. I talked to him almost everyday, and did not pick up on clues to his intent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2020 That's terrible to hear. Sadly it is something you hear of all too much with those dealing with PTSD. So sorry for his family and to you for losing him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cphubert 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2020 Sorry Doc, hard to see sometimes and that makes it harder to come to terms with. Twenty two a day is unacceptable, PTSD and depression are killing more than IED's I feel for his family and friends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
