We lose 22 veterans a day to suicide. There are days I struggle not to be 1 of them. I'm glad that officer knew exactly how to handle that situation with compassion

😡😡NO VETERAN SHOULD EVER HAVE TO PAY A PENNY FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT... EVER!!! I truly hope he was able to find some peace 🙏

Just says that a person doesn't cry because of weakness, they cry because they have been strong for too large long. Thank you for your dedication to helping people there are people who truly care and honor what you do. May you find the peace you so much need.

What is sad that we have a veteran worried about the price of going in the ambulance , our veterans should be well taken care of no matter what !!!! Get it together! We need to take care of our warriors

This kills me. In the history of America, we've never taken care of our Vets. If you know your history, you can go all the way back to the Civil War to see the inhumane treatment the soldiers received, while still expected to fight a war. We don't take care of them while they're fighting, and we don't take care of them after they come home.

Had to hard press my horizontal index finger against the area just under my nose to stop😭Veterans and others going through PTSD or CPTSD need to reach out and find the groups on Social Media and elsewhere BEFORE it gets to be too much, whenever possible and friends and family NEED TO help find those resources for them ahead of this, whenever possible too. Spent the first 30 years of my life having someone threatening and trying it repeatedly over the years, before and after my other favorite man I’ve ever known, blew his own head off. By now, most of us know someone…. If you are trying to help someone and keep your own cool to help them, staying grounded yourselves too, pressing that area helps with all sorts of things from gross sights, smells… to stopping yourselves from crying. After that, touching finger tips on one hand to the finger tips on the other hand, helps a person stay grounded while dealing with the situation. Giving up isn’t the answer for anyone, not the person in crisis

there have been a lot of soldiers that came home like this, and it breaks my heart. I'm glad this solder called for help. They normally dont call. My younger brother went into the USMC and put in 2 tours, and we were lucky. Yes, he has PTSD with no thoughts of killing or harming himself or others. He's been out for 14 years now and wouldn't go back unless forced to do so.
