Hi @GDSMMac and welcome to the online community.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice. And for sharing your story. ❤️
I hope you enjoy being part of the community. The categories are a great place to explore key discussion topics. May I suggest the coffee lounge as a starting point. It's a great area if you fancy a chat with many of the kind and supportive community members.
Best wishes,
Holly.
