I am watching the documentary:
Hell and Back Again (2011) about the life of Sgt. Nathan Harris. Wounded in battle, Harris with PTSD returns to North Carolina and his devoted wife to fight pain, addiction, and the terrifying normalcy of life at home.
Among the names of the fallen soldiers which the films mentions in the end is the Marine Cpl. Nicholas G. Xiarhos, a fellow Greek country man. Was in 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force. After returning from service in Iraq, he changed battalions so he could be deployed to Afghanistan, his Medals & Commendations are: Purple Heart, National Defense, Afghanistan Campaign, Iraq Campaign, Global War on Terror.
