  • Owen was a angry young corporal when I served with him in the 1970's but it wasn't until 1996 when I returned from overseas' deployment that he explained why. Heart always in the right place, absolutely committed to his army, made impatient and furious by PTSD. I'm so disappointed to see no comments, no stories, no photos and no memories left for this young man
