this was in our paper this morning. a man (forgot his name, i'll look it up if anyone wants to know) is walking the Appalachain Trail (part of which goes through here) barefooted to raise awareness of ptsd in soldiers. he stated that he was a marine durning the 70's and so many of his peers were serving in vietnam and were afflicted with ptsd, that he felt guilty being able to stay in the states. i don't know about the barefoot part being a good association with ptsd, but i guess his heart is in the right place. he just came through Harper's Ferry yesterday, and stopped long enough for an interview. he started in New York state and will stop in Georgia, hopefully before it gets too cold! just thought it was interesting.
