~ Keith C.

This weekend can be a rough one for many of us, especially those who've lost brothers and sisters or children in combat or to the 22. Check on your friends and family, CALL and TALK to them; more importantly, LISTEN to what they say and what they don't. TELL them, in exactly so many words, that they are not alone. And if you are struggling with loss, memories, pain or guilt or if your demons are especially loud this weekend, REACH OUT to a brother or a sister, to us or another vets organization, to a mental health or religious advisor and take the help that is just waiting for you to ask for it.
