I've lost a second former soldier of mine to an apparent suicide this year.

Prayers to his family and loved ones

Sorry to hear that man. Prayers for everyone involved. My brother and a couple of best friends served in the military. A lot of people just don't fully realize what these guys go through and see while fighting for us.

It's stressful on many levels even without ever seeing a battlefield. Anyway sorry to hear.

Sorry to hear that, Yank.


More people are dying from suicides than car accidents now.

Yankee, was his last name Kyle by chance? I just found out my freshman roommate at UT, from Germantown, TN, SFC Iraq War Veteran, killed himself last week.

The service went the way it should have gone
No one talked too loud or cried too long
'Cept your mama's new boyfriend
He went on and on while they laid you in the ground
Right about then a truck backfired
And all the boys they flinched their heads
Yeah that shook me up I guess
I been home a month now and I still can't get no rest

Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend
With nothing much to say except sorry it turned out like it did
21 guns for 21 years and American flags in the wind
Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend

Barbecue grills and lawnmowers
Kids on four-wheelers and ice cream trucks
Yeah they buried you on a Saturday
Georgia lost to Tennessee, you would have liked that I know
Afterwards we went to O'Charleys
Your mama's boyfriend got drunk saying it should have been me
And I wish it was, him I mean
So I went home, got drunk and watched the TV

Ugh. So sorry to hear. Praying for his family, friends, and fellow Servicemen including yourself.
