This family also lost a GWBaby at 1yr and 11 dys
old!
He shot himself with a shotgun and died from his wounds.
He leaves behind a 7 year old son.
He had been told he had a P.T.S.D.
by Kaiser hospital, yet they did nothing for him,
One of the reasons this happened (as related by his sister)
was because of the illness
Johnny had been experiencing, to include rashes,
knee swellings, and nodules under his skin.
While in Iraq, he also witnessed his best friend, killed
by a land mine.
His friend was Roy T. Damien, Jr., Specialist,
USA
P.T.S.D. is a serious part of this illness as it is with
prior Veterans.
P.T.S.D. can be a KILLER, if not treated.. Yet, this
is one part of
Veteran's treatment that seems to be not addressed correctly..
Statistics show we lose many of our Vets to suicides, as a result of P.T.S.D.
In the veteran's case, it is "combat related" and should be
treated.. How many more do we have to lose before something is
done..
He served from 7/28/89 to 7/27/92 He died on Sept. 28, 1996
Ours prayers are for others who are suffering from GWS.
We pray our VA Hospitals will be given the staff, money and education needed
to help each one get the answers and treatment.
I pray that your claims will be handle with speed so you will not become
homeless
and on drugs as my son and in pain.

Mobilized from Ocala Florida.
SFC Walker was my Platoon Sgt. He was a picture of health
going into Saudi,
a champion bodybuilder. He died after 16 days in coma a
couple years after we returned.
Whatever the reason on his death certificate, GWS is the root.
A good NCO, he took care of soldiers and led the way.
