Michelle Obama, Best First Lady Ever?

44. My heart goes out to you. I know it isn't easy for our soldiers today. I thought your son was

either a democrat or a independent and also enlisted. My dad,husband and father-in-law all retired as senior enlisted men. They know what war was like. I tell you anyone who says people don't change when they come back are lying. The sad thing is he needs to talk with someone who has been through what he has even if it is a VN vet or a WWII vet anyone who he can vent to. Sometimes people who have never been in that situation would be shocked of some of the things they might have done themselves and are very embrassed to express. Just be there and let him vent when he is ready. Just listen. That is the best thing anybody can do is listen and do not judge. I wish your son the best of life. He deserves all the good things. Tell him to use anything the military provided him. Oh one more important thing. Tell him to make copies of his medical file. Also make sure he keeps his DD214. It has his history of military duty on it. You make sure you keep a copy of it in case he loses it. What I did on my medical files was to go to the main hospital and tell them you have to go to another appointment and you need to borrow your medical files. Then take them to the office and make copies. That way in case something happens you have your copies.
