He said: "It was really the war that changed him and made him different than before. I think it was the war that made him crazy more than anything else. Before he went over, he was a different guy. He was fun to be around then. He made us all laugh at his goofy jokes and he's do crazy things, like when he climbed all the way to the top of the town water tower and pretended to be Godzilla. You had to be there. But after they shipped him back, he wasn't the same anymore. I saw him cry a couple of times. He was always sad. Or mad. If he wasn't down, he was ranting all the time. He drank a lot, and I mean a LOT. He started hitting on the drugs. He smashed up his car. He lost Jill because he treated her so bad. He couldn't be around other people because he said we 'didn't understand', but he couldn't be alone either. It was sad to see him change like that and I blame the people who sent him over there. And for what? What good did it do to anyone? And it's sadder to know that we'll never get a chance now to see him like he used to be. All that we have now is a marker. That's all."
