No... Him I did not know by name or rank, I only knew him by his act, which continues to be all too familiar and frequent; AD, RET or SEP...
His name doesn't matter in this case as, regardless, it will still leave sorrow and confusion in my heart and mind, as well as the known and unknown hearts and minds so many would have for anyone who gets to this point; The feeling that this was the only option left to them...
This post will never reach him, but the hope still remains that maybe it will reach, at least, one or more of you approaching this point, with the help of, and through awareness of, self and others...
So... Again... If you think you are on this path, TALK TO SOMEONE...
If you think you know someone who is on this path, TALK TO SOMEONE...
I'm not saying this gesture is "the answer", but it is an all important first step to get to it...
It is our business and we are the keepers of our brothers and sisters...
And they are the keepers of us, so let them... Okay?
In the meantime...
Rest In Peace, And Good Journey To You, My Brother In Arms...
If I'm not allowed to post this here, then my apologies, but I felt it was needed as we all seem to know the answer, but a few of us are still getting it wrong...
Thank you. - CWEJr

Thank you for the poignant message. It is imperative for someone who is experiencing that level of pain, to know who to turn to during stormy seas.
