Eric, thanks so much for reaching out to your cousin. The bonds made with your brothers in arms reach beyond the comprehension of those that have never served, not trying to sound elitist, that's just the way I feel. I'm sure he appreciated you being there for him, too bad our VA couldn't do the same.
I feel there's going to be a large segment of our vets that will need long term care to deal with injuries both physical and mental in the next few years, if not now. I'm sure it's not going to change overnight, but Washington needs to step up and deal with this problem.
I work with vets through Project Healing Waters. I was a Combat Engineer, but anyone can volunteer. Just getting them away and out into nature is a great thing, much less teaching them the art of flyfishing (or the frustration of flyfishing in my case
). Changes won't happen overnight, but every little bit helps. Again, thanks for stepping up and I hope you can help other vets, your cousin would be proud.
