This breaks my heart. He was far too young. My thoughts are with his family. Thank you for your service, PVT.

Not only is this man's story a tragedy, recently I had a talk with the mother of a Army PFC that apparently told his next highest ranking Non-Commisioned Officer that he wanted to see someone about PTSD. The PFC's Non-Commisioned Officer denied his request. This behavior in a War Zone is by my standards unacceptable, and must no be allowed. I know, I'm a Dis-abled Vet. I have PTSD, Bi-polar, Degenerative Bone disease, and many other things and yet am being feed pills, and was told that I have no service related problems. I'm in the process of getting my category changed. But that takes time, because you have to have Documentation. And guess who you have to get the documents from. You guessed it. The different Military Agencies that are affiliated with. The Government. Seeing Wolff
