MaryAnn, You have this remarkable way of reminding the rest of us that we are mostly just whining about the 'trauma' in our daily lives. It is shame what happened to this young Marine; it would be criminal for the rest of us to carry on as if nothing happened, as if we had no debt or obligation to him and to the others in his situation. Excuse me while I go organize another care package, and, as always, thank you for sharing these stories!

Thank you, Maryann, for sharing stories like this. They wipe away the impersonal and put a human face on "the wounded". God bless Josh and his wonderfully supportive family.

I pray for Josh every day. He was one of the best zone partners I ever had here at the Sheriff's Office and one hell of a good cop!
