Comment Comment by ChrisMarshallNY That's a great story. I liked hearing about his daughter.My father was affected by PTSD. He never treated it, and I think he never recovered. He was a war hero, and is buried in Arlington[0].I have another friend who is a Vietnam vet (and also a decorated hero), and treated his PTSD. The difference is night and day.My father was quiet, and never talked about the war. We're still not sure what earned him his stars.My friend has absolutely no problem talking about his action. He's not boastful, but it doesn't bother him to talk about it.[0] https://cmarshall.com/miscellaneous/MikeMarshall.htm parent ChrisMarshallNY 2 years ago
