Farewell my friend

Today i received an email from a friend telling me that an old friend of ares that we went to school with killed himself and his wife Friday morning. He's not the first and he's not the last person to come back from Iraq and end up with PTSD. I hadn't talked to him in a log time but the few times that we did talk he didn't seem like a mad person yes he had some problems but what person wouldn't after being were he was, I don't really know what to say about all of this all i know is I'm sorry for his family and for his wife's family. Jason you will be missed you were a good friend. Here is part of the article from the paper.


The Nellis Air Force Base airman who died in what is believed to be a murder-suicide Friday morning was being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder, a base spokeswoman told the Review-Journal today.
What role the possible disorder played in his death is still unknown, Capt. Amanda Ferrell said. The airman, 25-year-old Jason Matthew Klinkenberg, was receiving treatment in response to events that took place during a five-month tour of Iraq between 2005 and 2006, she said.

Klinkenberg’s death came after a roughly two-hour standoff with police inside an apartment at the Craig Ranch Villas

Police said Klinkenberg’s wife contacted a friend, who called police about 5:30 a.m. claiming that Klinkenberg was holding a gun to his wife’s head.

When officers arrived, Klinkenberg retreated into the ground-level apartment and fired shots out of the window at officers. Police did not return fire.
About 8 a.m., SWAT officers entered the apartment to find the couple dead. Clark County marriage records show he married his wife, 23-year-old Crystal Klinkenberg, in July 2007. The Clark County Coroner’s office will determine whether the incident was a murder-suicide.

Klinkenberg was a vehicle operator with the 99th Logistics Readiness Squadron. Ferrell said he had begun receiving treatment for PTSD on base but was eventually referred to an off-base specialist.

update


So we have been in Washington for a week now and i am soooo happy to be back a few day s after we got here we had a play date with my friend Marissa and her two kids Hailey had a blast it was really nice outside witch was good the kids played outside in the back yard and Hailey loved it and to tell you the truth so did i, i didn't have to worry about her taking off or trying to run out in the street it was so nice so i think when we get are own place that will be one of the things on my list is a fenced in back yard she really enjoys being out side and for her to just go out and run it helps her get all of her pent up energy out and we all know how crazy my kid can be she is a wild one.


Well the kids are adjusting well with everything Hailey stills ask's to go home but i think that because we don't have all of our stuff and a place of are own i think that's why she is asking to go home but hopeful when we get a place of are own she will stop asking to go home or she will be like her cousin Caroline everytime she go to visit Nana and Papa she will walk in the house and say "nana and papa im home" but all together we are happy to be here.
