Recently I saw an interview on a local TV news program that featured an Iraq war veteran. The vet had suffered severe physical injury in an explosion while on duty. He was being interviewed because he was heading up a fund drive to help vets, especially those with PTSD. He had suffered not only the physical injuries but stated that his mental injuries were much worse. That is why he is trying to help other vets overcome the mental problems created as a result of combat.
In closing the interview, the reporter said, “Thank you for your service.” The reply the vet gave was not what you might expect.
He said, “You’re worth it.”
