As everyone with half a brain now knows, the Iraq war was a cluster@^$k of epic proportions. Unfortunately, that has left hundreds of thousands of troops with PTSD and other issues that lead to 22 suicides a day and that may be higher (http://www.cnn.com/...).
Well, it hit home recently for a friend of our family. An Iraq war vet who was in the 82nd Airborne unit from Fort Bragg in NC went to war and suffered a traumatic brain injury. After he returned and recovered, he was not the same and battled the PTSD demons until they finally caught up to him. This has left his family without even the funds to pay for the funeral. Aaron was a very kind man who left a young wife and two bright kids behind. They need all the help they can get.
A GoFundMe campaign was started to help with these costs and to help the young family move forward. Calls to support our troops once they are home have had some success.By posting this, I am hoping to show that the DKos family supports our troops when they return.
Please go to the GoFundMe site and donate. If you are a DKos user - make your donations in what ever amount you can spare and add $.10 to the total so that we can see who donates from this community.
