I have a friend that lives in Urbana. If he knew I was doing this, he would be very upset with me. He has been in The first Persian gulf war, Somalia twice, Various other countries for humanitarian reasons, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He has had some fairly significant surgery on his neck, and severe problems with his back/ After 6 years in The Marines, he got out. When 9/11 happened, he was trying to get back in as soon as possible. He ended up in the Army National Guard. His job was to train Iraqi soldiers in Iraq. He also had to take them out to do their missions. At some point he injured his neck fairly badly. He did not know he was hurt as bad as he was until he got back into the States. The doctors said he needed to stop doing anything, because the way his neck was injured, any bad jar, and he would be paralyzed from the neck down. After talking to several doctors he finally found one that said he would do a surgery that could fix the problem to an extent. There was a group going to Afghanistan, and he wanted to go. So the Dr. did the surgery, and he volunteered to go. He always said that someone has to do it. After he returned from Afghanistan, He tried to go back to work as a carpenter like he had been for many years after he got out of the Marines. With his neck, and back injuries were now even worse, he was not able to keep doing it. The last job he was on, he had to go get shots to kill the pain for the last 2 days on the job. He has had a terrible time with the constant pain. He has been diagnosed with PTSD. His back and neck hurt so bad when he returned from Afghanistan he ended up addicted to Vicodin. While this was going on, he got a dui. He was trying to drink to his problems away, and they just got worse. He and his wife split up. Because He can hardly work, their house is going to be foreclosed on if he cant get a short sale done soon enough. His kids will have a very slim Christmas this year unless he can get some help somewhere. His kids, and soon to be ex wife are still in the house, while he lives in an apartment. The VA has been processing his disability paperwork since 2010 he said. If you can find it in your heart to help him, please he has more then earned it. He has many awards, including a bronze star. He is also looking at another surgery soon possibly. If you can help, please don't say anything about this being on Americanlisted. He would be very upset about it. He is very stubborn, and wont reach out for help, even if he needs it. Here is his info.
