This one is hard. Earlier today I received the news that a battle buddy of mine had taken his own life. He's gone. Just gone. I will never see him in this life again. As another brother rather elegantly put it "One of my brothers lost the war that we all fight everyday since being home."
I attempted to write a long post to explain what it's like coming home from a war zone and the challenges it takes to readjust to a suddenly purposeless life. But I couldn't. So I just want to say Thank You to everyone who donated to Hike for Heroes. Hopefully your generosity will ease a future warrior's pain and help them win their war.
The following people all donated to Hike for Heroes:
Anne Carpenter
