War and PTSD: A Former Marine Speaks Out



"I Had a Friend....Who Served With Me, Bled With Me....Who Killed Himself... Months After He Got Out of the Marine Corps"
 
 

Former U.S. Marine sergeant Bob Cuba, who served two tours of duty in Iraq, discusses the suicide of a fellow Marine and his endless and painful battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

This video was posted Memorial Day weekend of 2010, and it is being posted again because thousands of men and women who proudly serve or have served in our nation's Armed Forces are still battling Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), including Sgt. Cuba.

As Memorial Day approaches, From The G-Man salutes all those who fought and died for this great nation and hopes that all U.S. service members in distress will watch this video and follow the advice of Sgt. Cuba. You are not alone, and there are people and resources to help you and your loved ones deal with PTSD.
