He embraced our founding principles and sought rapid healing from the war. He severely internalized the progress of the war was endlessly frustrated to find leadership. He served his nation while dealing with endless personal tragedy and a spouse suffering from mental illness and erratic behavior. He possessed incredible strength of spirit to endure all this.
