Veteran's Story: Harry was a 3 tour Air Force Vet. He was , at the time of his death, a 100% SC PTSD VA outpatient who was under the influence of heavy medication and should not have been driving a vechicle. He talked of suicide on many occasions. Harry was a very big black man that was more loveable than a POO BEAR. His funeral procession with full military honors was by far one of the biggest seen by this city of 50,000, there were tears not only on the faces of all that were gathered there but right after taps was blown GOD CRIED when the heavens opened up with a downpour reminecient of a monsoon; it is true , THE GOOD THEY DO DIE YOUNG.
