Last night, a fellow Marine fou nd some disturbing pictures on one of his friend Marine's FaceBook page of this WOT veteran's slicing his own wrists.
He immediately posted what he saw, and asked for help.
I and many others insisted he call the cops right away to find this Marine
This is what Vets do for each other, we care, and we help when it is needed.
Semper Fi!
Glad that he got help.
Thank YOU for watching his six!

Pss 46:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Pss 46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Pss 46:3 [Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
Pss 46:4 [There is] a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the most High.
Pss 46:5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, [and that] right early.
Pss 46:6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Pss 46:7 The Lord of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah.
Pss 46:8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
Pss 46:9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
Pss 46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Pss 46:11 The Lord of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah.
Outstanding!
Semper Fi!
There is a crisis line run by the VA....any Veteran or family or friend of a veteran can call 24/7. It is manned by professional counselors who can also alert local police and rescue anywhere in the country while they are on the phone with the vet.

If you know any vets, its a good idea to have this information.
This Hotline has saved many, many veterans and gotten help for many even if they aren’t suicidal.

The loss of even one Marine is a trajety.
The loss of a thousand politicians is a good start.
Thank heavens.
Post/thread...health/life BUMP! America’s finest.
Post/thread...health/life BUMP! America’s finest.
Good on you and your buddies!
Suicide: a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
It is so said some of our finest end up at a point they would even consider mildly, taking their own lives.
Semper Fi! We can’t afford to lose any of our Vets. The US needs every single one to help rebuild from the mess we will be left with when Barry is booted out.
