remembering
i know today we remember 9/11 and all those who lost their lives to that event i would also like us to remember the soldiers who have since went to war because of that event...today, of all days, i ran into Danny for those new to my journal, Danny is one of my former co-workers at the post office Danny was a Marine Reservist who spent time on the front lines in Iraq at the start of the war he was returned there again doing patrol in some of the treacherous places for another year they wanted to send him a third time, but he decided to discharge from the Marines he has 3 young girls, 2 newborns at the time of the second tour he wanted to watch them grow up but also the war has really affected him he told me today he's working on retiring from the Marines and the post office it's all too much for him now he's seeking treatment again i don't know his diagnosis, but i'm guessing PTSD anyways, i'd like for us to remember our soldiers past and current who have been affected from 9/11 as well may we keep them in our prayers so they may heal and move on with life normally my son also returns there in about a month may our prayers and our votes elect us a president who will bring our troops home permanently giving the Iraqis their country back while giving our soldiers back to US we have not forgotten, we will never forget....

I think you're probably right on the PTSD. It is a terrible day in history. Anne
A terrible dark day in history. One that should never be forgotten.
