B.D.: Big guy in? Secretary: Sure, go on in. B.D.: You look great. New hairdo? Secretary: Nope. New shoes. B.D.: Listen, Elias, how would you feel about my helping out here at the center? Could you use another hand? Or are you good? Elias: Good? B.D., I'm sure you know that tens of thousands of vets from our era have taken their own lives - maybe enough for another wall. Well, if we don't get after it, things could be just as bad for this generation - in fact, worse, because they've had FAR more combat exposure! So, yeah, amigo, we could use another hand here - big-time! B.D.: Um... I meant like, making coffee or changing lightbulbs. Elias: So did I. It all helps.
To all those who have served, and to the families of those who paid the ultimate price: Thanks.
