I’m not looking for personal opinions. It’s either you do it or you don’t. If you are friends with me, you should be aware of my sentiments regarding Veterans. I am fairly confident that I already know two individuals who will assist me, but I am hopeful that I will receive more than just two responses, as this is a pressing concern. Twenty-two Veterans succumb to their struggles every single day. I would like to ask that two friends or family members copy and repost this message. Someone's life may very well depend on it.
