And me, also O+. I'm already on the donor registry, though... Does that matter?

My dad was also born in 1953, graduated high school in 1971, enlisted in the Navy, and served on the USS Enterprise. He and my mom actually met when he escorted his good friend, my uncle's, body back to the States (he'd overdosed on heroin, which I understand was relatively common at the time).

My dad since took his own life (in 1987--I was 11). Not a day goes by that I don't see a homeless veteran and think of him. Thank you so much for your service.

What are your thoughts on the mental health benefits available to service men and women and veterans?
