In 20 years you will receive a decision letter which states “Your knee and back pain have been deemed non-service connected”.

The squeaking sound of a ruck sack while running haunts my dreams

[johnbland]

I know a special forces guy I'm sure he's retired by now but I always remember him as being a very honorable person always directing to the point never beat it around the bush put it out there whether you liked it or not

[Hummingbird_Merry]

Hang tough! We are pulling for you! Thank you for all you are doing for others! Truly!

Fourteen years and at least thirty pounds ago at age 38 I could run two miles in twelve minutes at Fort Bliss. Now, everything from the waist down hurts on both sides everyday. I have no regrets for serving in the US Army. These guys are chasing the dream.

Go great ones we see you, we believe in you! We LOVE YOU! Our brave!

[RaymondAdames]

This and more is what it takes to defend our nation. May God bless and keep them well.

[sethstatler]

Theres no way i could do this with all my physical damage.
Keep on rucking amd trucking men!
Appreciate your strength it doesn't last forever.
Im 28 and have had to accept that i can no longer function at 100%.
Biggest pill to swallow. Tears me up. BAD.

Been there done it got the T shirt. God Bless all on Memorial Day.

Carrying an extra 60 pounds is really what did my back in. As a Forward Observer your radio is in your pack, and you can't just drop it like the Infantry guys can. Had to do everything they did while carrying my pack. That was nearly 20 years ago. I'm 37 now and if I stand too long, sit too long, lay down too long, my back aches and my knees hurt so much I can't go up or down stairs.

Nice to know the U.S. still has real men. Thanks guys! We love you all!❤

[warcrimess]

The sounds of the plastic ruck frame squeaking bring me back😂

[michaelleary]

Ty for your svc young men! This American is thankful for you! God bless

[oldwarriorlife]

I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD VIDEO EVIDENCE LIKE THIS BACK THEN FOR MY VA CLAIM. SOMETIMES PAPERWORK ISN'T ENOUGH. THE DOCTORS NEED THIS FOR NEXUS LETTERS!
