Mating Song [Eternal Flames 14]

Dedication With our hearts filled with gratitude and our eyes filled with tears, we would like to thank all the brave men and women past, present, and future, who have served in the United States Armed Forces and who have sacrificed so much so that we could live free. Thank you for serving our country and protecting our freedoms. Many don't make it home and many who do, suffer from the effects of what they have experienced. PTSD is something that affects between 12-20% of our brave warriors. Their struggle is real, and as Americans it is up to us to give back to them for all they have given to us. So if you or someone you know suffers from PTSD for any reason, please don't hesitate to reach out for help. There is no shame in needing a helping hand.
