| 18. I remember Jon Soltz at TBA |
|
He was a total "rock star" for that crowd.
All that aside, what I remember most about that TBA event is when Mr. Soltz spoke about coming home and wanting to know where he could go to talk to someone who understood what he was going through. His simple words in looking for some care at a Vets Center are some of the most haunting of this war for me.
"I need help. I'm not who I used to be."
Dear Lord, how many Jon Soltz's are there out there? How many of our soldiers who come home to find out that they are "not who they used to be." I just hope this nation to committed to a course that makes sure they get help when they ask for it and pays attention to what they have to say.
