Two nights ago, my little brother, a U.S. Army veteran who could no longer tolerate PTSD, took his own life. Like he was doing previously and like the rest of my family is doing now, I am simply trying to cope. To every American and every lover of justice and democracy who reads this -- my little brother fought for you because your safety and security was important to him. Please remember him as your friend in spite of how he died.
