Thank you for all you've done in the line of duty. You are fighting for me, my kids and my country. We owe a debt to you. Part of that is caring for you and your family. You aren't the only soldier experiencing this. I'd hope it would not stain your record to admit you've seen enough and want to come to terms with it. That takes help. It's not a weakness, it is a bona-fide condition that is directly caused by the things you've had to do.

Please take good care of yourself, and be kind to yourself as you would to any of your friends experiencing this.

I hope your transfer comes through soon. You deserve it.
