Welcome home! I echo the sentiment here - take whatever time you need to settle in. You might find that a part of you will forever be over "there". Please feel free to also message me if you choose. I also urge speaking to a counselor. @Antonio said it best - the symptoms are not noticeable at times.
Otherwise, if you want to get drunk and blow shit up some night, we can do that too. Cheers, warrior.
It ain't about what you are capable of, it's about what you're willing to do.
Welcome back and thank you for your service, Connor. As people said above, the best way to honour the fallen is to live a decent live. I support Antonio's words regarding finding some professional help for PTSD. And remember, as we say in Ukraine: "Heroes never die". Their legacy will live on in your memory and accomplishments. Feel free to hit me or anyone on disco up if you need to talk. I can also connect you with some other veterans.
Well, here's our conquering hero! You had me worried! But you did good out there. One of those Rogues had a bounty on his head. You'll get that as an extra bonus.
Welcome back, glad you're safe. Thank you for doing what you did. Take care of yourself and remember that your friends and loved ones will be here for you. May you live long, and the memory of your mates' sacrifice live longer. Slava!

i wouldve been very legitimately and extremely upset if you hadnt come back
good to see you again connor
im sorry to hear about your friends. never blame yourself for what you couldnt predict.
My name is Jerry, or Agent 66, and I am Connor's father. I'm not really sure how to make this post but he wanted me to let you guys know if anything happened. I never thought I'd be writing this but here I am and this is incredibly difficult.
Two months ago Connor went back to Ukraine but this time was different. He wasn't there just to provide medical support but he went to actually fight. Connor joined a group of Foreign Legion who had English, American and Canadians in it where they were actively taking combat missions.
On the 15th of November I was informed that we lost Connor to the war. I don't want to share too much as it's quite personal but his squad was tasked to take a captured Ukrainian trench and bring it back under their control. He lost his life saving one of his fellow fighters dragging them to safety who because of Connor lived.
I don't really have much else to say but he wanted me to let people here know if anything was to happen to him. Discovery must have meant a lot to him.
Before Connor left he and his partner decided to get married. He also has a son on the way as well.
He's left us behind and has gone to a better place. I hope his efforts are not in vein. He will be missed by all of us at home who love him dearly.
Thank you all.
He left a small message for you guys which I would like to share.
Hi all. This is going to sound a bit cliche but if you're reading this I didn't make it home. I've left 3 of these. One for you guys, my wife and my future kid and my parents.
I haven't told anyone apart from my family but I'm going back to fight. It was a very hard decision to do especially with whom in leaving behind. Some might call it selfish but my family understood.
I have joined the Foreign Legion and will be heading back out to Ukraine tonight. I just want to say thank you to everyone for my time here.
Scourge, Thomas, Loki, Light, Dimi, Alley, Godslayer, Geoff, Saronsen, St Denis, Cori, Jammi, Prophet, Jazzi and many more. I'm writing this in a rush. You guys have all been amazing friends to me here in my time playing Discovery. Thank you guys for everything.
And yes, Godslayer you can have the Nergal. It's all yours.
I've given away all of my accounts, like steam etc, to family members.
Heartbreaking. Hadn't heard from him for a while and feared the worst. Tragic news to hear. I hope you're in a better place now Connor, your efforts weren't in vain. Forever and always our GOAT.
