I just got this in my e-mail so I could put it in the paper. Submitted without comment...
Wyatt McNulty, 39
Wyatt McNulty was born Feb. 27, 1973, in Roseville, Calif. Wyatt PROUDLY and BRAVELY served our country in the U.S. Army for 11 years. He served in Kosovo, Iraq, and Korea. Wyatt didnt have any injuries that you could see with your eyes but inside he had a battle in his mind. He also suffered severe head and backaches from a tank hatch that fell on his head. He battled post-traumatic stress disorder daily, silently and quietly. He went through treatment, counseling, and tried many, many different ways of fighting this battle in his mind. On Oct. 31, 2012, he lost his last and final battle with the physical, mental and emotional agony. Like so many other BRAVE soldiers he wanted the war to end and he took his own life.
You were only 39, Wyatt, and we all stood on the sidelines watching you give so much to this country. You paid much too high a price and this country was blessed to have you. Up until your last moments, God alone only knows how much you struggled with the terror while on duty in the Army. Rest in peace dear friend, you deserve it. We are SO PROUD to have known Wyatt. We will never forget you.
Wyatt leaves behind his wife, Jennifer; son, Cameron, 16; and daughter, Chyanne, 13. He also leaves behind his mother, Sheral; stepfather, Roger Cornwell; brother, Shane Smith; sister, Sara Stamas; brother-in-law, Thomas; sister-in-law, Rebecca; and their families. He also leaves many loving aunts and uncles and numerous family members.
Services to be held Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, at 11 a.m. at Real Life Ministries, 1866 N. Cecil Rd., Building 2, Post Falls.

Many more bright and shining lights in our society would be extinguished.
