In 2016, shortly after my son’s passing, I wrote that “The older you get, the faster time goes by.”
Adam was a United States Marine who served in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. He returned home in the summer of 2014 and died by suicide on July 5, 2015.

This is a result of the 'suck it up' mentality, when our military and others seek help, only to be turned away.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Very sad. Condolences to the family. Semper Fi and R.I.P. brother Adam Lambert.
Yes, they should be honored on Memorial Day. He didn't die on the battlefield but died as a result of the battlefield.
