"No Straps" The Terrified Vietnam Vet I'll Never forget

🎙️ “NO STRAPS!” — The Terrified Vietnam Veteran I’ll Never Forget

🚑 The Story: In 1983, Allan transported “Ray,” a deeply traumatized Vietnam veteran, from the Miami VA to a nearby psychiatric hospital. One request dominated the short ride: “No straps.”

💔 Behind the Behavior: The man others feared opened up, cried, and asked Allan to stay with him. Sometimes what looks like anger or aggression is hiding tremendous pain.

✝️ The Message: We often see a person's behavior. God sees their entire story.

📖 Scripture: Mark 5 • Galatians 6:2 • Psalm 139

🙏 Takeaway: Look deeper. Listen longer. Show compassion. Sometimes God only asks us to walk beside someone for one mile.
