PTSD Claims Another Decorated Soldier

27-year-old Spc. Larry Curtis Applegate died Friday of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Applegate, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., was a twice-deployed Iraq war veteran awarded the Purple Heart and Army Commendation Medal with Valor. Applegate was assigned to the unit created by the Pentagon in June 2007 to house soldiers injured in war and to help them focus on healing.

Assigned to help others and in the end can not help himself and others could not save him.

This is so sad what's happening to our soldiers and the ones that survive will never be the same.
