    I hope you mods don't mind that I bring this back. I just wanted to see if we had any newer members who are/were soldiers.


    After the forums were down from yesterday I was really looking forward to checking out that thread again and writing down the names of the people who said we could talk sometime and to my HORROR...well, we know that a lot of threads and posts are missing now. I am just trying to keep a thread going that someone else started so if we could get this thread going again I think it was really headed in a good direction, a place where vets could meet other vets and for those who are struggling to get support from others who know what PTSD is all about. It could be like a group clinic of sorts where we all have some bad military experiences in common (as well as IL2). There is a lot of money that the US government is hanging on to (and doesn't want to let go of) and we as vets, especially disabled vets like me have to go after it and make them give it to us. It shouldn't have to be that way but unfortunately it is. The government sent us to some place nobody really cares about and then once we come back home (not everyone comes home...alive) I feel like a used up asset that the government has no use for anymore.
    For those of you who responded in the last thread please respond again and for those other vets out there from all nations please post your thoughts in here.

    STRIKE HOLD M2morris. That was a good outfit. That was one of the proudest times of my life wearing the All American patch on my shoulder.

    B/2/504 for me. Here is a pic of my Tempest that Jesters-Ink did for me. We are always looking for other good pilots in the 23rd/33rd squadron. If anyone is interested please check out our website and see about flying with us. Here is our website. http://raf23sqn.dogfighters.net/

    I also have been diagnosed as suffering from PTSD although I am classified as "slight". I can relate to what you have going on upstairs. You need an outlet for it and get it off your chest no matter how hard it may be. That has helped me more than anything else in my recovery. Feel free to contact me, I would be more than willing to aid in any way I can or to just be a shoulder to lean on brother.
