I was having flashbacks.

I was having daydreams.

I was seeing images in front of my eyes, you know, of the people

that we lost and things that had happened and other things

that I had seen while I was overseas.

I would just suddenly start thinking about it

or I would catch a news clip.

That's one of the reasons why I have a hard time

with watching the news

and reading the newspapers right now.

You know, catch a little clip that would trigger it.

Sometimes there would be a show on or catch a little glimpse

of a show that would set me off.
