hollywood3586 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 This is about a close family friend of mine named James Pluck.. His family wanted a story put out there to let people know that these symptoms occur in people even if there are no signs. I had lunch with this kid about three weeks before he committed, I am shocked and hurt by his decision. I am mostly hurt because he thought that was his only option. http://www.ohio.com/news/first/107017783.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm so sorry to hear this Holly. I know exactly how you feel. PTSD is a serious condition and effects not only the person, but everyone around them. RIP Brother, you will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 One day while America is at the Mall it will realize its also at War. Until these issues get some real treatment/outreach we will all be touched by this type of loss. I do see efforts from the VA and all the Branches. Though the problem I see lies within the nature of man. We must carry our inner demons with silence and strength. Some days the demons win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Sorry to hear about your friend.I have not served, but can only guess what it is like.These kids go into the service and become trained soldiers. They see hear and feel events that most people should not have to see. after service, they are told " now go blend in with the rest of population" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
