I need to say this to my all of my Seawolf brothers.

[Don Jacobs ROH]

As for what I have to say here please don't take anything bad about any of it.  I am just so proud to be a brother to each and everyone of you, and I have to say this to all of you, and especially to certain brothers that I have become very close to.  I have been extremely sick with PTSD for the past several years.  It had come real close to destroying a complete life forever.  I have to admit that it did completely destroy a lot of a life that I had at one time.  I just want everyone to know that at this time I am getting back to the person that a lot of people knew way back when we were young.  I also want to publicly thank all of the brothers that know pretty well everything that took place through the last several years and stood behind me more than I could have ever dreamed possible.  I now am getting to the point that I dream every person on earth to have.  PTSD can not be gotten rid of completely but can be learned to live with happily.  No I am not completely 100% the person I was before Vietnam and never will be, but I want everyone to know you can work at it and have a happy life after the fact.  I do beg anyone having any of the problems I have had rely on your brothers and get the help it is out there.  I love all of the brothers of the Seawolves more than a lot of you will ever know.  Take care my brothers and thank you all for a life I could not have had without all of you.
