My grandson was 24 years old, and out of the marines a little less than a year. He had been to Iraq, and fought in the battle of Faluja, I do not know how to spell it. He had been seeing a psychiatrist at the VA, and was being treated for post disorder stress syndrome, I think that is what it's called. He was told not to drink and take the meds they gave him, but Jeff had a drinking problem to begin with. Perhaps he forgot he had taken them already, and took more. Perhaps he just like the feeling he got when he drank and took them. None of us believe he wanted to end his life, and that this was an accident. I have wondered many times how these young men and women survive > after going through > what they do. We raise our children to be kind, don't fight, and be the best that you can be, then we turn them over to Uncle Sam and they learn how to kill and we expect them to return home and act like nothing has happened. Some cannot do this, neither could Jeff. > His grandmother in Florida will be home Fri. and his aunt Debbie is on a cruise, therefore the wake will not be held until Sunday and his funeral will not take place until Monday, this is a very long time for his mom and all of us to have to wait to put him to rest. Thank you for your prayers, blessings, Bobby > > a (Bobby) Doyle Brecksville, Ohio, USA DX 05/1995 02/2000 - Gleevec Trial/OHSU 06/2002 - Gleevec/Trisenox Trial/OHSU 06/2003 - Gleevec/Zarnestra Trial/OHSU 04/2004 - Sprycel Trial/MDACC, CCR in 10 months > #840 - Zavie's Zero Club 09/2006 - out of CCR 04/29/08 - XL228 Trial/ U.of Michigan 06/02/08 - CCR ( in 4 weeks) > 02/13/09 - XL trial ended due to side effects > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
