I appreciate that! I am a veteran of two branches on two continents. Here you have Veteran's Day....in the UK it is Remembrance Day...but very similar.Oh, BTW @fransican when I made reference to appreciation to Veterans, that includes you and all others from allied countries! Not sure if vets from other allied countries are represented here in this forum, and it may not be appropriate on this specific day, but I applaud all who make true freedom possible!
I try to not remember those days. My life fell apart after I got out, and I made a despicable mess of myself....took over ten years to rebuild myself into who I am today...but even though I am spiritually alive....on earth I am deader than dead. I am not unhappy whatsoever...just the opposite if I'm honest...I just know that bells cannae be un-rung, and in that, realistically...I just need to never focus on myself ever again. That is what brought me to joining a religious order. I suppose it could be worse.....topic change please...I'm begging you.
