The funeral for a young man who when hit by an IED that blew his kevlar off his head laid down lead in return fire on the enemy. Even though he was concussed he still was trying to protect the rest of his friends from the terrorist attacking us. He is dead. Took some psychedelics and jumped out of a window less than two months from the platoon demobilizing. Got a call from another one yesterday who got out to hook up a blown up vehicle while under fire from enemy machine guns. He told me that he is seeing a psychiatrist once a week and it seems to be helping. A year ago yesterday we arrived in Khost, Afghanistan. I thank God I made it home to my wife and kids.
