Why Should David Join The Military
At the age of 18, David joined the military to escape his abusive childhood. Not knowing that he would not find a family or a brotherhood where he would fit in. Just to find more pain. David was released under a Medical/Honorable discharge for PTSD/MST. As, he was sexually attacked in the service. Shortly after the service, David was still alone and lost. He issolated himself and cut the world off. Thinking this was the only solution he had and no family for support. Not knowing it would make things worse. He developed Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma shortly after the service. He then got treatment and went back to islolation. Through the years David kept to himself, trying to hold jobs as long as he could, till the anxiety was to much to …show more content…
From childhood abuse to PTSD/MST to fighting his battle with cancer to now curantly being diagnosed with MS a month ago. Even though he fights alone everyday not complaining about his problems or how he feels. David needs help and we can show him support by helping him and showing him that the world is not full of bad people there are people out here that care and will stand up and fight next to him.
David has been renting a home, paying his bills and rent monthly on time. He goes to the VA for treatment and groups to deal with his PTSD/MST weekly. But, once again life comes at him full blast. David's house that he has been in for the past few years is being foreclosed on as the landlord has not been paying the mortgage. David is now facing not only his health issues and fighting his mental health anxieties, he now is facing to be homeless again.
So, I ask all military and non-military brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers to stand up and help him in this time of need. Show him support and show him he has a friend and a family that is bigger than he knows. Lets support him and show him people are good and care. Lets show him his family that we can all be part of and he is not

    Although David went to see a phycologist in the years before the killing spree after incarceration David was deemed a Paranoid schizophrenic. Paranoid schizophrenia causes a person to hear auditory hallucinations and things that are not real. It also causes someone to believe that they are a “powerful” human being, more so then the normal person.
