“The Speed of Darkness” is a true story of LCPL Jonathan Pablik, a U.S. Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. This was first a poem, and then produced using clips from recent war movies. While I have no rights to any of the videos, I found it peculiar how easy it was to find video to match my brother's story. His story is not unique, but an age-old tale of what happens when our military are left to fend for themselves after years of combat. For years my brother struggled to share this story with anyone, but I'll never forget the relief on his face when he was finally able to share his most traumatic war experience with me. #veteransday #ptsd #EducatePTSD #marines #military #poetry #thankyou #war I do not own the rights to any video or music Video Credit: Cherry 2021 - Tom Holland The Outpost - Jake Tapper Music Credit: Cover of Darkness - Jaksch Messerschmidt Breaking Point - Jaksch Messerschmidt Speedy Underbelly - Jaksch Messerschmidt Darkest Hour - SrDoc Tell My Wife I Love Her - Ness Hear Me Scream - Mitchell Warren
