Just gonna say this is actually the first picture I’ve actually seen of wounded female veterans. Now that I think about it they are (in my eyes at least) hugely forgotten. Some female service members have been in combat and hit by IEDs outside the wire but it’s always the males you hear about and never the females. I think this picture is great and everyone should see it so please share it!
Let’s show the power of Tumblr and help her!
Elliot Earl Williams is a 37-year-old Army veteran with a history of mental illness. As you know, nearly half of people returning from hot zones have mental illnesses such as PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) or TBI (traumatic brain injury) and shouldn’t be blamed. He was arrested in the hotel for having a mental breakdown.
Instead, he was given nothing but disgust. He was left naked in the cell for days unable to eat, drink and even move, until he was pronounced dead. He was treaded like an animal! Luckily, there was a camera in the cell and you can see everything by yourself.
This horrible attitude towards Black veteran is an outrage.

Markel is a 4 year old child suffering from a rare form of cancer causing him to go blind and he is losing his sense of smell. This past Wednesday, his saint of a mother, Rosie, was told he only has about 2 months left to live. He is the STRONGEST little boy I have ever met. He is nothing but positive 100% of the time. He is constantly uplifting his mom telling her everything is going to be okay. He told her before they found out about the estimated 2 months left of life, that he was going to go to heaven soon, and that he was going to meet God. He said he is going to become one of his angels soon, but that it’s okay. Now personally, I don’t affiliate myself with any religion, but I don’t deny any of them, and that just makes my heart want to burst. He’s only 4, and he has accepted death and he has prepared himself for the afterlife. He deserves the world, and he can’t even have his life. Please share. Please make this known. He deserves it.
This is pretty neat! Black DBZ
