BellRinger 9/9

 As far as war veterans, My grandfather fought in Vietnam. Based on what he told me it wasnt a fun experience, he's never really went into detail but he has said he watched people get their life took, bombs go off and loud noises throughout the whole day. Just from those sounds alone he was left with the remembrance of a variety of sounds in his head, playing till this day. He served because he had no choice. From what I know/seen the effect that the military has on present life is mainly time, reassurance and ptsd. Relationships with children should be ok, they know where their parents are, not like hes a purposely absent father and hes not going to be gone forever, hopefully.

11. Write about all the secrets that have been kept from you

I got out of school and my older brother's car was there, I was home for about an hour and still heard nothing from my mom or anyone. Comes to find out, my oldest brother was arrested that morning and my grandfather passed on that same morning.
