We have been so blessed in many ways,but, we have also protected and fought for those who needed our help. My problem is not seeing us as a nation taking care of our brave men properly who have protected us and given life and limb.Having been to the VA hospitals on many ocassions I really think we could do more for our Guys who come home maimed,and with many who have mental disturbances that need attention and their families. If we really cut the budget properly we could take care of our own and many other problems.

But at least I feel exonerated from their military assessment.

Unfortunately, my PTSD was incurred in the war-zone of my HOME prior to my enlisting. But at least I feel exonerated from their military assessment.

South Africans generally think that America is war happy. In today's age we can 'talk' as you do. And if we want to run another country or kill for oil, then I feel sorry for those who believe otherwise. Zimbabwe is run by a despot, We dont see America coming to the civilians rescue. We are not stupid, and Ive travelled America extensively, love NY, been there several times, but I also love my country more despite its flaws. we live beautifully, and if we can get a handle on 'crime' yes.. like most other countries, maybe ours a little more, then our country is heaven on earth. War...NO! I will not send my sons to fight with other humans. globally we have criminals doing that. Life is already too complicated to add to it. Politicians can go fight and send their sons. Fortunately it wont be many. regards tish sorry Dr phil, I dont believe in war. South Africans generally think that America is war happy. In today’s age we can ‘talk’ as you do.

I am 22 years old and my husband and I have been married for 2 years. Out of that two years we have spent 14 months apart. The time that we have spent together has been amazing and I am so proud of my husband. He has been deployed 2 times. He just reenlisted and we are now sationed over in Rota, Spain. For the first time I actually feel like I am married. My husband got 3 years of shore duty meaning he wont be deployed again until he reenlists. I feel like I not only got my husband back, but my best friend. He truely is my hero and I love him with all my heart. Although being a Navy Wife is hard it is certainl well worth it. All the deployments, hellos and goodbyes, tears, sleepless nights, missed aniversary and holidays, when my sailor gets home and I hug him for the first time in months it makes everything worth it. I tell my husband that I would follow him anywhere and I mean that. I am a proud Navy Wife :) I know this is kind of late, but I am a Navy wife and very proud to be one.

I live in Jacksonville Florida a very military town and whenever I see one of our finest I make sure they know I appreciate what they do. If I am driving in my car I give a salute and a shout out. I also tell the husbands or wives of military personal how much I appreciate them taking care of them so they can take care of us. The looks on the faces of these people when you let them know you care and appreciate them is priceless. It makes my day! God Bless and protect our troops!

Our son has missed many holidays and family events, but most of all the daily life of his little girl and wife. Our hearts have a missing piece everyday while he is gone. It's been a long three years. We are very proud of him and hope to see more information to help with PTSD and the other issues that our family is now supporting each other through. Every story is unique and can help encourage others. Thank you for honoring the young men and women who sacrifice their lives for our country!
