We have been trained to fend for ourselves when all else has been lost or gone wrong. I am one of the worst but finally got the help I needed through VA. I used the Paralyzed Veterans Association. Use any of the veteran's groups out there. They have the contacts and know how to get through the system. War is terrible and there never should be one. However, I went and these young men and women are going not just once but some are on their 3rd tours. My son went as a Private and now is going back as an E-6. He now understands the leadership responsibility of directing men in combat. I would go in his place if I could. I will sign off by saying that I am proud of ALL veterans who have served and allow me to enjoy my retirement. - Don Morgan Mon, 19 May 2008 05:47:46 +0100 http://www.eddiesplace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=65#pc_30 This website is unbelievable and it "hits" home. Most veterans will not ask for help and that is why I have shared my own story, Locked In Time - I Still Remember and Always Will because the simple fact remains - just saying "Thank you for serving" to most veterans will bring tears to their eyes. You care and that's what matters. Some of us, like Eddie have to make ourselves vulnerable in order to help other veterans. Every day is a struggle but like Eddie, I do not believe in senseless Wars - I do not believe in War. I guess one has to be in the middle and see the horrific sights to come to that conculsion - but then again, I would hope many would just learn from our experiences. Mental Health issues are rising and more and more veterans are facing the truth - "There is no shame in seeking help!" Do not walk to the VA my fellow warriors - RUN as fast as you can - your life depends upon! - Bonnie Tierney Sat, 17 May 2008 06:44:38 +0100 http://www.eddiesplace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=65#pc_22 Eddie's Place is such a very, very sad story but unfortunately one that is repeated almost daily - lack of support, concern, and care for our veteran's returning home. I am a Vietnam Vet and have seen horrible stories for many, many years - unbelievable callousness toward veterans. Now with this war, new horror stories pop up frequently and although the VA is much, much better than during Eddie's day, our vets are still suffering. I guess the best thing anyone can do is to bring to light ANY and ALL stories of sub-standard care for our veterans. Your website is serving a great need ... a sincere thank you - Bill Dozier Fri, 18 Apr 2008 09:52:10 +0100
