So for those that dont know I am a combat veteran with 30 years of Service to the USN. I have had MANY up and downs in Life but I have had HG. I have lost Shipmates and Brothers in combat and I retired Diagnosed with PTSD and a Plethora of Mental Health Challenges. I have lost more friends to Suicide than combat and my life since retirement has been filled with challenges that God and My SPECTACULAR Wife and Family have really helped me with but I have also had other help, This small Community of HG. I am not sure if I miss my Team, My fellow Brothers and Sisters but the idea of a unit is something that I have missed and am able to feel something akin to it with all of You . As I get older, Lives lost is a particular struggle that I have. Recently, one of my best friends lost his life to his battle with Alcholism. No one is perfect and I continue to have my struggles and although I dont have any type of Suicide Ideation I do struggle with Depression. I know I have NO reason to but Its my Achilles heal to this day. One Unit that I have enjoyed and have always been happy to be a part of is the HG Community. For those that dont know, prior to my last combat Deployment Funky and the MANY HG Legends took me through Nessus to make sure I got my first Demi Before I left. It is a moment frozen in my mind filled with appreciation. I enjoy Everyone I play with. You are all a WONDERFUL distraction that I truly Need in my life. Many runs I have been on tired and without desire but I do them because I KNOW I need the Human Interaction. I just wanted to take a Minute and Thank this Amazing set of DM's From Funky to Acaos to Sabre, Mad, Chain and of Course the plethora of those DM's that have come and gone. My Guild, Prep, TJ, Brian, Manuka have been especially Kind and accomodating to me in my current and day to day Challenges. The Paddys incluiding Bor, Gras, Tritone, Krat and the entire Euro gang are a constant source of Humor and Joy to me. I sound Happy On Discord and in chat often but sometimes I know I need to be a Giver and put my happy voice/face on for the Wonderful HG community. Absolutely Everyone, the UTs, DTs, Shenja, EVERYONE that I cant name/remember now has ALWAYS been a positive experience for me in this game. Mega Tier 1 games come and GO but no gaming company, NOt Activision, Epic games, NOTHING has ever hand the impact on me that playing with EACH and EVERYONE of you has had on me. You help me with your voice/thoughts when you log and and communicate with me. I really appreciate you all. And even now that I miss my friend so much, I can just scroll through my Dms and there is notes from so many lovely people, Moldy, Frax , and others that have communicated some much positivity. Your actions, words and things you type and do in HG have FAR reaching consequences that many of you will never know the profound effect you have had in Me. I will close with this; Tell people that matter to you that you Love them. Make plans and EXECUTE the plans with them. Mistakes you make in life dont hurt, its the Regrets that Haunt you. I am ok, and today was ok. I will celebrate my friends life in Mass tomorrow and would challenge all of you do the same with your Loved ones as well. I Really Love and Appreciate all of You.
