I received the following story from one of the posters on Huffington Post, who visits my blog on occasion. He pointed out this story from the AP. Fortunately, I already saw this story and mentioned it on the Roger Hedgecock show and on the Rick Roberts show, here down in San Diego. Unfortunately, I did not get his email to post this until this morning.
Kudos to "getoffmedz" from the Huffington Post. Check out the site for his comments.
*** I have edited a small portion of the discussion from the emailer
TEMECULA, Calif. - He was one of America's first defenders on Sept. 11, 2001, a Marine who pulled burned bodies from the ruins of the Pentagon. He saw more horrors in Kuwait and Iraq.
Today, he can't keep a job, pay his bills, or chase thoughts of suicide from his tortured brain. In a few weeks, he may lose his house, too.
Gamal Awad, the American son of a Sudanese immigrant, exemplifies an emerging group of war veterans: the economic casualties.
