You were not alone then, and you are not alone now.
Military service can leave veterans carrying experiences that are difficult to explain to someone who hasn't been there. Sometimes talking with another veteran who understands can make a difference.
Post 8835's buddy-buddy program connects veterans with fellow veterans who have shared similar experiences. It provides an opportunity to talk openly and privately with someone who understands the challenges that can follow military service.
If you're struggling, if you're in pain, or if you simply need someone to talk to, please reach out.
