Welcome to the board Jonathan. Thank you for the service you have given and I want to let you know that am very glad to know someone who has risked everything for us back home. Going to war at such an early age would have to have had a profound effect on you, and now that you are home it is definitely time to heal. I have no way to understand those things you experienced over there, but I am glad to hear that you have found some relief with Cannabis. :jointsmile:

Use all the resources available to you now to find your peace and to find your honored place in our society. I personally believe that you should never have to pay taxes ever again because of your service. To honor the military, I have bought many drinks and meals for active duty service men and women around here. If I were an employer, I would give you preference now over anyone who had not served. Use all the benefits you have now... they were well earned. Go to school, start a business, do something that builds on your accomplishment... or, just chill for a while ... you deserve it.

I still feel pride and awe several times a week when I see the Stealth Bomber fly over on its test and training flights. I know that the people supporting the big Air Base here in Missouri are all around me. These are amazingly dedicated people and I see them in my classes as well as all over town. There are many like me out here who know what being free, and being military means. Be proud... and know that we are proud of you. :thumbsup:
