“I hated myself. Hated the world for not allowing me a moment’s grace for all my hard work and sacrifice. Hated those who cheered me on with the empty head-nod of, ‘Thank you for your service,’ as though they already knew my story and they didn’t really need to hear it.” — US Marine, WE GOT YOUR SIX
