Thanks for sharing Yes sir...it takes a whole bunch of bal...uhh, courage to talk about their experiences. To some it may not seem like that big of a deal, but personally I'm not sure if I could have opened up like they did. I am very appreciative they could, just to give the ones who have not been in combat a better understanding of how taxing war is on the body and mind! Awesome film and I'm very proud of my brothers!Title: Re: A video that needs to be shared Post by: charles on August 11, 2014, 06:16:33 pm My wife says its taken 7yrs to come out of my "shell" bout things from over there. It took my dad 30yrs to come out and talk bout nam n i know there are things he may nvr reveal. It easier to open up to folks thats been there n seen the same or worse, but opening up to a civi, aint the easiest and i still dont feel comfortable talkin bout some it to a civi head shrink at the va.

Title: Re: A video that needs to be shared Post by: Jason A on August 15, 2014, 10:53:27 am Thanks for sharing. It's a strange thing being back in the states after combat. I think about my time every single day - I even named my new puppy Ramadi after the city in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. I don't talk about it much to my friends who weren't over there, when I do I feel very guilty afterwards. Great video.

Three days later, I was happier than a pig in slop to make that hour and a half trek back to Fallujah. That was my one time in Ramadi...one time was plenty. What was your MOS Jason A?
