Just saw this story on FOX.Vetrans rowed across the Atlantic to bring attention to PTSD.First time I have seen of this event.I know the folks on this forum realize the effects of PTSD on our military and first responders,some first hand. With over 22 suicides every day far more than combat or job related deaths. Take some time from your hectic day and think of those who have lost their battle with this demon.Take some time to bring these events to the general public who are unaware of this under reported crisis.Keep these brave souls in your prayers.

Seemed like genuinely good fellers … godspeed.

Thanks for the reminder!

[drift]51 days…sounds like a perfect time for a BSF (brief stop for fuel) at GTMO and returning to the BARPAT (barrier patrol) off Columbia for another 50+ days[/drift]

Child’s play… my first cruise, which the US Navy was kind enough to pay me to attend, resulted in 110 days at sea. Big Grin
