Veteran’s Story: Arthur was the kindest and most gentle person I’ve ever known. He was and will always be, my husband. I will never understand how he could hurt himself as he would have never hurt anyone or anything. Arthur, not a day goes by that I don’t think of you many, many times and will until the day I leave here to go with you.
