Between leadership that could care less if an individual is suffering and veterans that only look to tear others down for the ways in which they choose to heal or help; no wonder so many choose silence over opening up. Add in the relentless and too often hateful world of social media and you have a perfect concoction for convincing someone they don't matter. We can do better. We must. People are speaking up, they're reaching out. But if we only hear them and we're not truly listening, are we really hearing them at all?
