Jon @ Ft. Hood

I hope that you see this and have time to check in with him. Jon has not called in the last two weeks. That's never a good sign.

It appears once again the Army is retaining him for another 2 or 3 months without explanation. He has moved through the discharge process, has signed for his PTSD disability, and should have been discharged in July. I'm not sure how long he can hold on.

I will always believe your piece on PBS NOW saved him then. You gave him hope, respect, and an opportunity to be heard. Thank you for that. He deserved every bit of it.
