[@adiosurf1]

It breaks my heart that our vets aren't taking care of

[@yaroslavazxM]

It's crazy to think that if a person is lonely it can slowly break them.

[@undeadviper8297]

It does, it truly does

[@wadewilson0155]

It does and the pain that loneliness brings is especially hard, you question everything... Am I worth it? Does anyone really care? Is something wrong with me? It can be very hard.

[@Jeffro5564]

Duh.

[@Veritas.0004]

I'm lonely and nobody cares

[@pikepuncher6683]

I feel like this right now

[@oldchicago3216]

God bless him and those cops & firemen.

[@BallTypeStuff]

“They came to take care of your son not hurt me no more” that one hit hard

[@Dauberg]

yeah, i absolutely felt that one too

[@gustengrodslukare4600]

God bless those who helped him🙏🙏🙏 This man deserves everything he can get❤ It's also sad to see war veterans end up on the streets and no one helps them😢 These veterans helped their country, and now it is the country's duty to help them as a thank you🙏❤🙏

[@jackallensworth8736]

There ARE angels among us, who move about the earth. Thank God Almighty.

[@kixnuzia6919]

One year later, i cant go crazy without seeing among us

[@starekati-woa8185]

The real question is who is the sus one

[@joekraft5913]

I wanna each through the screen of this phone and give this man a proper hug, I am in tears.. I hope god has continued to bless this man and light his path god bless you sir and welcome home!

[@nebulachaus4084]

God bless this kind soul. No one will hurt you anymore...

[@peacefamily212]

God Bless you my friend! Xx

[@DeeDeeMarie1]

So glad to see he is being taken care of now.

[@rmeighan3761]

As a Navy Veteran that’s been homeless twice, once right after I got out in ‘96 and just earlier this year, it’s hard to ask for help. It took running into an Air Force Veteran on a job, and her convincing me to get help for my homelessness. God bless the Police Department and community for helping my brother in arms. My father served 25 years in the Army, and seeing this story broke my heart.

[@LEO_OfficerChrisツ]

I wish people are like this in the Philippines

[@ccezzell9862]

Cried ❤❤❤And I cried.

[@SpotownProductions]

God bless all involved with this... Outstanding.

[@BLACKMESSIAH006]

Guys empathy in this world goes long way

[@b.s.w8295]

It’s crazy to think the people that served our country get treated like shit and Instagram models that have did nothing but show there assholes gets praised shits sad asf I always go out of my way to thank veterans everytime I see them

[@cathymartinez897]

I’m so happy for that man ❤❤❤

[@foxmacnamara8809]

Good Man. Wonderful story.

[@Team_Nissan_Rs]

Damn I would have given him 100.00 in cash

[@jimmacdonald2137]

I am a US Airforce Vet. I live at St.Gabriels adultfamily home in Seattle. In September i am moving back to Montana. Kib and Mimi run St.Gabriels and violate all my rights. I have contacted the ombudsmans office but things just get worse. Kib and Mimi laugh at me and call me a homosexual all the time and pound on the ceiling floor. My PTSD is out of control. I have lived in Seattle for 14 years. I have been here at St.Gabriels for over a year and am sick of the lies and harrassment. I am leaving to Montana September 11th.

[@sharynsaleh8739]

we need help for our Veterans in Wilkes-Barre pa they treat them like prisoners cant go anywhere or have family unless they make an appointment .we have been trying locally but no response

[@incitingariot9925]

I feel bad for Vietnam veterans. They were thrown away because they stepped up to defend freedom.

[@georgewashington3393]

So he would've been 18 in 1972. I wonder what branch he served in RVN then🤔

[@jamesadrian2675]

Why doesn’t this have hella views

[@JoedT]

He said that they did more for him in an hour than what "Hines" gave him in last 15-26 years? Sadly I am attached to Hines VA in IL, and I haven't been there in the last 3 years because it just feels like they don't even care about us Veterans. I called the crisis line, and that's the only place they can put me with it seems. I absolutely hate this position I am in, as it seems I am out of options. I don't know if I should even try anymore.

[@Isabella-sk8ey]

❤

[@rafalgora3770]

If only we could understand ourselves better. There is hope. 🥲

[@allenadams2469]

God is Good

[@sinead.]

What's the crisis hotline number

[@easr1233]

But us got tons of money for other countries lol

[@72mossy]

I saw him on Judge Caprio. He deserves it after been convicted with the wrong Hammer

[@xavyjr9426]

This is fuck up god bless all those who help and support or veterans and troops salute

[@Z_D3m0n]

God bless your soul sir. I wish all the veterans in crisis had a helpline as secure as this.

[@The.308win]

Damn.. until this day he feels as horrible as he almost recently left the war 🙄

[@allahlovesyou7241]

Is it because of the guilt...

[@trishmagenta883]

Vietnam was based

[@gonzalo_v503]

If only thos billions sent to ukraine, could have gome to our veterans.....

[@mrtony12893]

America needs to do better for every veteran…… I’m glad this man was helped

[@jeffamunoz]

Here from tiktok - glad he's ok

[@Z_D3m0n]

Veterans serve our country as a whole. As their fellow countrymen, we owe them service in return. You served your country, now it's time for your country to serve you. God bless

[@JR-ly2pu]

Dang. Shout out to these cops. Going above and beyond. Selfless service all the way

[@h.m.p.2080]

Our vets deserve better

[@lmtd4r966]

Thank you Sir, glad life is smiling at you.

[@heathercloete7450]

This is what life's about. It is not all the goods he got that has changed his heart, it's the people who have embraced him and have shown they care. God bless.

[@jonc7836]

The Government dropped the ball

[@DarkForceUbz]

Ofc they did, that's part of their job. Their concern is not about your health, but about your usefulness. You're slightly cared about while you're in service. After the objectives are completed, you're just another guy, but most of them can never be 'just another guy' after the shxt they experienced. Fighting wars that most of the times have hidden goals and wrong moralities while those who start it sit in comfort, never coming home the same, ending up homeless, with unattended for problems is just systematic nowadays, not a 'ball drop'. Why, let it be in war or shxt as simple as restauration, those who suffer/work the most receive the less?

[@Marilyn-gb1pu]

Please help a Veteran name Terence Griffin he served the country for 6years he lost his wife and children.

[@Terminator_2thousand]

This Sunday bet I’m comin😂

[@anthonytortiz]

That’s beautiful! God Bless 🤙🏽

[@secretend2090]

This is the reason I love first responders

[@Alwayscountry]

This is the America I want to see!
