The loss of our service members and veterans is unacceptable
Some service members, just like everyone else, are not equipped to deal with the crucible of training, deployment, family separation, and 100’s of other reasons lead to the avoidable loss of my brothers and sisters. None of us can possibly be prepared or all of Life’s challenges. We would be foolish to think that we can cope alone. I do not think that there are cookie cutter solutions to the complexities of duty to country and duty (or replace duty with love).
