Now he's just a different man... it's like oh wow, that's great. So it was worth the wait and worth the time.

Barb Barton's high school sweetheart signed up to join the Marines shortly after graduation. They eventually ended up getting married and having a family. Decades later, the VA diagnosed him with PTSD and he's a different man now that he's started opening up.
