Byron Dorgan: “On Saturday of this past weekend, I was in Minneapolis, MN, for some meetings. In the Minneapolis Star Tribune…”

“On Saturday of this past weekend, I was in Minneapolis, MN, for some meetings. In the Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper, there was on the front page a story that I read with substantial disappointment and concern. I will relate it to my colleagues. Kevin Giles for the Minneapolis Star Tribune wrote a story: This Marine's death came after he served in Iraq. The subhead is: When Jonathan Schulze came home from Iraq, he tried to live a normal life, but the war kept that from happening. The story is a lengthy one about a man who served in Iraq, was a marine, very proud of being a marine, a combat marine. His name was Jonathan Schulze. In Iraq, he carried a heavy machine gun as part of his combat experience. He apparently indicated he had watched about 16 of his unit members and close friends die in some very aggressive fighting in Iraq, described the battles. He was twice wounded, earned two Purple Hearts, came back to this country, was discharged, and had very serious post-traumatic stress disorder, severe psychological problems.”
