Mr. Reyes, you are an inspiration to us all
Mr. Reyes,
Please forgive me for addressing this without your proper Marine rank. I do not know it and because of that, used "Mr." I do not mean any disrespect.
Thank you for sharing your story with the world. You are a true inspiration to us all.
I was first introduced to you via "Generation Kill." Your positive warrior attitude, good nature and dedication to physical fitness really showed through in the film. I then went out and read the book "Generation Kill" and Mr. Fick's book "One Bullet Away." I have since watched "Generation Kill" a total of five times.
I just watched "The Way of The Warrior". It was a great piece but really left me feeling emotional. I am having trouble articulating my exact thoughts but I will take a stab at it; it breaks my heart that someone like you, someone who I admire, is or was feeling so alone in this world...and is / was at such a low point. Whatever it's worth, please know that there is a community organizer in Boston, MA who really admires you.
Keep your head up. You have friends in this world that you didn't even know you had.
Regards,
Travis
