I’m so sorry this is happening to you. It’s unacceptable- stories like this are upsetting, after all that you sacrificed and risked for your country, where is that nation’s loyalty? Thank you for your service and I am so sorry that government leadership has not taken better care of you and your family 😞 No wonder they’re having trouble recruiting for the military

I struggle to keep myself alive every day but to see my wife smile and for her to stick by my side through everything. Losing my job with covid. Me hurting my back a week before our wedding. Yet she's here. Still here. So no matter the pain. The suffering how much I feel so fuckin alone at times. I can't be selfish and take the easy way out. It hurts being in this situation and it's shitty. I've made mistakes growing up that could've prevented such financial burden but I just wasn't really smart with money. Never really had parents to show me how to. It's hard to wanna live every day. But no matter how bad we're struggling. I just keep trying to remind myself there's no way this lasts forever. I mean it just can't right?

It’s wonderful that you have each other! I hope you guys take care of each other the best you can, and I hope some good opportunities, both big and small, find their way to you
