This story is right up my alley, and some of you who have depression and/or PTSD.
He told me he’d contemplated suicide once. He wasn’t one to open up about himself like that. He could tell a great joke and loved talking about hunting, but forget about anything more personal than that. He’d been a student of mine the year before, and after finishing the veteran reintegration class I teach at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, he and I kept in touch. We’re about the same age, and he and I both have young kids, and so I saw him more as a peer than as a student.

Great story, at least the guy had a reason for not doing it, and it truly was not stupid. Just the act of suicide was.

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - You're right. I have no idea why my buds decided to end their lives. Here one day, laughing and having a good time, then gone the next day. I dunno.
