TOMAS YOUNG died yesterday, November 10, 2014. TOMAS was shot while serving in IRAQ. He was paralyzed from the waist down and then became a quadriplegic. He was fed through a tube, had a colostomy bag ... he had pressure sores on his body with exposed bones ... he suffered a pulmonary embolism and struggled to speak. He was in so much pain that he planned his suicide ... and then changed his mind because he loved his wife so much he wanted more time with her ... even with the pain and all the difficulties each day presented. If youre in life and you start to think things are a little too rough to handle, just think of me and what I go through, and you realize that hey, I dont have it so bad. -Tomas Young- I dont believe well ever have a world without war ... sad to say that there are some wars which must be fought and I have a great amount of respect for Americas soldiers past and present. Some of the bravest of soldiers, however, are those who dare to speak out against politicians and defense industry millionaires who think nothing of starting wars as part of a business venture. EDDIE VEDDER of PEARL JAM wrote this song for TOMAS YOUNG ...
