Veterans Group Helping Family

Jan. 17, 2025 Editor, The News-Gazette: I’m a Rockbridge County veteran who spent 20 years on active duty. Just before Christmas, my wife and I attended a dinner hosted by the Lynchburg Area Veterans Council, where we were heartbroken to learn of a tragedy involving a local veteran. This veteran, with disabling PTSD, killed the mother of their two children, killed another person, and then took his own life leaving behind orphaned 6-yearold twins. The twins are now living with their aunt and her family in a small home in Bath County.
