I cannot pretend having many military bones in me even though I spent some 10 month in the French Army back in the days as a 'conscript'.
I do feel for the victims of conflicts including soldiers coming back from the war.
Listening to Tracy Eiswert whose husband took his life after returning from Iraq tell her story in Military, VA Confront Rising Suicide Rates Among Troops on the News Hour (November 10) was very moving.
Things happen for a reason.
An hour ago, Dani Sevilla of Survivor Corps, a non-profit that helps victims of war, civilians and military, heal their physical and mental wounds asked me to pass along the message that on November 11 they are raising funds to help veterans and their families deal with the fallout.
I am happy to oblige.
Check their work and do what you can to support their work.
