Hmmm ... just watched Shirlee Engel's interview with a "very neat guy."

I'd swear that's one of Army.ca's more quiet, humble and wise Mods ... ;D

Good to see you tell you're story. It paves the way for others who may

end up travelling that same path.  :cdn:

 
Nice to see Tess doing a fine job....neatguy! Well respected soldier who was wounded and still gave his all to save his friend and warn his unit. I salut you  :salute:

  Always good to see publicity on PTSD. It always helps when it gets in the open. Glad to see that Tess is going to be helping out at OSSIS.

THESE PERSONAL ATTACKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED

A mug only a  uhm,...well, ....I'm sure someone could love.

Nice job Tess.
 
Am I ever glad to see all these links.

Last night, Front Line had an episode on PTSD as well.

The Soldier's Heart

It's absolutely critical that you all get the support you need in this, and the understanding, that there is wide knowledge abroad that.. not all wounds are visible.

:salute:

BZ Tess. We all have friends and colleagues who are affected. I'm happy that the culture change is still moving forward, in the right direction.

Cheers,
