mobie16r,

Many times one wonders about what stressors our fellow military members endured. Here at hadit we are afforded the opportunity/platform to share that if one does so chose or just maybe let out bits and pieces, or not at all.

The openness inables the realism of what one can tolerate, what one can endure, the stregnths and weaknesses one possesses,the outcomes of the major stressors,the fights to acquire or to continue with their attempts to acquire justice for their scd, and their life.

Unless someone experiences the exact same occurance,(not possible) they cannot truly put themself in that persons shoes. Similiar events occur, closely related, but the personalization of what changes happen to that individual who suffers from the horendous situation can never be challenged. This does not happen here, nor does one evidence members trying to "one up on another" regarding their sc life terrorization.

Reading members post of their most intimate life shattering experiences brings forth the banding of brothers/sisters. No where else can you find the true meaning of friendship.

I applaude you for your service, help here on hadit, the stregnth and ability to raise a family and your grandchildren, and the courage to strive and survive through it all. You survived your challenge put forth to you, I hope you find peace and realize you were chosen for life.

My cousin died in the tet in feb 68, and a day does not pass by me where I don't think "WHAT IF?"

May you enjoy your Christmas holiday time with your family and may you know the lord watches over all people if you let him in.(or whatever higher power you do believe in or find solace with) :) halos2
