This is a great little blurb from an older vet on how to get out of the “dark places.” Great advice for younger vets or even those older vets still struggling!

 “What helped? My wife and family were a big help, especially my wife, Recie. At the same time, it’s something you gotta just do yourself. The secret, I found out, is just to stay busy. There were no government programs to help back then. No therapists to see. Nothing like that.”

Sorry to leave out the Marines, Navy and Coast Guard!
