One month with dementia

My mother in law has just been diagnosed, it's so hard for my wife atm. Pete as an Army veteran of 35 years, I honestly salute you, my friend. What a truly remarkable individual you are. We are currently going through the lengthy process of try to get my mother in law the care she needs on a daily basis as a (military) widow. It's not easy but the AS has been a great help. Thank you for the courage it took to make this video. Stay strong, my fellow brother, in arms.
