I just wanted to give thanks to everyone here on AO. this is a very strong community, and has been supportive of me (and others i'm sure) during a tough time in my life.
I don't come from a perfect home, in fact ,sadly, I come from the new "average american home"
my parents divorced when i was young and my mother used me to wage a war to take everything, my "dad" conceeded to keep me and my half-brothers together. Shortly after my mother "won" we lost everything and moved around from apartment to apartment. the friendship support was never so strong as when i joined the service.
I had a new family, people to watch my back, guys i defended and they defended me...
when i was injured, it all changed, work load had to be redivided and the mentors i looked to for support looked down on me and said you're not worthy.
the reason i am telling you this is not to make you feel sorry for me but to make you (AOer's) to feel good. As a community AO completely supports it's users. complete strangers offered to help me pay for a toy that would likely never be used. I can not say enough about the support i've recieved here, thank you AO
