Terribly sad, Love and Light to you. God Bless ❤
It is the responsibility of the government to take care of our veterans - they have been neglected and ignored for too long - it was bad enough for them both during and after two world wars, but we now know how war affects those who served - there is no longer any excuse for the pretence that this issue doesn't exist; too many veterans homeless, disregarded, and left to fend for themselves
Sorry, but many more than 2 wars. My Uncle is buried in Belgium, killed in WWII, and my cousin, USMC fighter pilot, was shot down in Vietnam War, captured and killed. R.I.P every veteran no longer here, and George, we won't forget you ever❤
A don of a man, fine person. hope country rises up & supports values Men & women who gave so much on this timeline.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your amazing son, My prayers go to you and for all of the tremendous work you are doing. I just think that it is bad that veterans have to rely on charities for the support they need after putting their lives in the line of fire. ♥
Breaks my heart watching this. Terribly sad, but WELL done to the GEO team and partners for moving forward in such a positive manner....

WO2 James Welsh of the Royal Scots was another... Gone but never forgotten my mate
Deeply sorry for your loss sir, my condolences to you and your family. And huge respect for the life saving work at Hull4Heroes in light of tragedy - hats off to all involved.
Always appreciate what the Veterans Foundation do, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Take care and stay safe out there.
So sorry for your loss. Its so sad. I just wish there was more help out there for the vets suffering in silence . The things these soldiers see and go through must be hell on earth. Especially after watching your army bros getting shot or blown up and not getting time to process what happened and just have to get your kit on and go back out kicking down doors. Crazy.🙏
How tragic. Sadly one of many.
This is hard for me to watch! The armed forces need to look after all who have served even all those who have left.
Things need to change for the better sooner rather than later.
This really hits.
This video has been an enormous eye opener
Truly sorry for your loss. RIP. Arte et marte.
The question of why is what got to him. Rest In Peace...hero!
Bless him Rip Pal
Men don't talk - so true, and yet it's a reoccurring problem. Really hope GEO makes a difference.
RIP hero
Thank you for sharing your story, and for your efforts.
❤😢George Ellis you are never forgotten in the UK and watching from the USA, wherever we speak of and remember! R.I.P proudly soldier
Ptsd isn't spoken about in the public enough.
I've had it for 4 years. There are no words. It's shit.
Power to ya Brother!💪
Had Suicides in my Life, Broke my Heart, 30plus Years ago. Am here should you need support X
Great innitiative
Remember when you criticize a war you criticize a hero
Lest Ye Forget
My wife thinks i am big and tough. She said babe you tough you get on with it.. deep down i struggle so much. I google often death by cop. She would never suspect i would think like this.. i hate .. i cant talk about my emotions deep inside. It eat me up. I havent drank in over ten years because my emotions will get the better of me. The military made us this way tough.. but deep down inside were dying.
Anyone else watch this and say what was on their mind in the moment.. 10 minute late feel stupid for saying it.
My sister struggled. She went to group sessions where she would sit and listen to everyone else talk. After a while, she felt comfortable sharing her own stuff.
You don’t have to talk if you’re not comfortable, at least go and listen to other vets in group sessions. You’ll realize how much you relate to the people in that group.
@@jarabotelho5275 thanks you. I never thought of it like that .
@@MikeSmith-qs2nr you’re welcome and good luck on your healing journey, man.
