Loren L. Hazeldahl was a loving father, son, and husband who selflessly served in the Vietnam War as a Marine. He also suffered immensely from PTSD the rest of his life from time at war. He lost his very personal battle with PTSD on 12/8/2015 by his own hands. Please help us make sure his suicide and so many others do not go in vain and by showing your continued support. We will not stop until every veteran of war is brought home and saved physically as well as mentally.
