One of the moments that really sticks in my mind is when
I got done watching the movie "Saving Private Ryan."
Just the whole experience, re-living that experience,
even though I'm not combative, I still had combat around me.
And that movie caused me to start thinking about
what I was going through, what I was thinking,
how I was feeling, and what caused me,
maybe what might be a cause for some of my problems
was seeing this and seeing the horror all over again
of what we experienced.
And that's what got me to start thinking about it.
And as the days progressed and weeks and months
progressed afterwards, I got to the point where,
yeah, I knew there was something wrong.
And then when I hit the bottom and had threatened suicide
and called the hotline and then made the phone call
and got into the VA, then the letters were put to it.
