If somebody like me has it, then anybody can have it.

One thing I've tried to do personally is,

when I was a Company Commander and then before

that as a Company XO is, in 2006,

I was awarded the Silver Star for bravery.

Well, what I tried to use with that is, "Hey,

this guy's got a Silver Star."

I'm going to talk about PTSD, I'm going to make them aware.

I'm going to talk to my soldiers about it

because you're not going to tell me that I'm a coward

or I have combat fatigue or whatever they used

to call it 60 years ago 'cause I've already proven myself.

I know how to fight.

I don't want to say I was good at it.

I like to say "wrong place, wrong time" for that thing.

But, that if somebody like me has it,

then anybody can have it.

And that's really affected the soldiers as well and just

in the units that I've had influence in, I've seen it kind

of change the perception directly that hey,

it's a warrior sickness, it's not a coward sickness.
