Antoine I miss you.. I wish you were here.. but I am and I'm not going anywhere... I am suffering everyday fom a severe case of PTSD because of what we experienced every night while we all ran for cover from the un-nerving amount of rockets and mortars that flew at us both. I left one week before you and Scott were injured and prior to that i was convinced that this was going to be me before you....... I love you my number is 317-966-6003 My parents number is 317-924-2227 my therapist number is 317 988-1604. If anybody out there is reading this please give us a call as it is getting very hard to keep the purpose of what we did alive. I am being admitted to Battle Creek Michigan soon and I really need some support. thanks for YOUR service. Very Respectfully - SSgt Steven Poole, OIF 1 Balad Airbase November 2003-April 2004
