His wife is extremely concerned. He may be ok just fuming from her "nagging him" but he may be in need of help.
He was last seen driving his modified Jeep with Smittybilt XRC front and rear fenders, stickers placed on the windshield and an Autobahn pass on the back windshield.
The black Jeep has South Carolina Purple Heart plates with the number PH5752.
If you have any information, please contact Calhoun County Police Department at (803)874-2741 or your local authorities.

From the FB page his wife made
He suffers from Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from injuries sustained in Iraq in 2005.
She said he just kept getting worse. He was outside working on his JK putting new fenders on and she kept asking him to do something else around the house so he left.
Apparently he is from MN so they expected him to go it that direction.

I hope he is going to the VA (or somewhere) for treatment. After Vietnam I thought I could tough it and finally started PTSD treatment 3 years ago. He needs to find a vet center he feels comfortable with. Sometimes it takes time but...There is help out there. Good Luck.

Currently toughing out as we say. I can relate to this guy tho, sometimes it gets to much and we have to just take the jeep and guns and just "disappear". I know that he didn't do it to piss her off or go hurt himself. Sometimes it's just gng out alone and finding that sliver of clarity. Sorry for the family and anyone that knows him but he probably did it for his and his family's safety. Like I said there's a lot of us on here that know what it feels like coming "home". Glad they found him and hope he does actually get the right help. o one last thing, for anyone that says its stupid to take your guns ( ie possible suicide whatever) it's not that for me or a lot of guys, a gun was our way of life, like a comfort item. Without it we feel lost or in a way scared, it saved us, saved our friends and gave us the ability to fight as necessary. Ive realized im more paranoid without one than when i have one close by. I'll jump off the soap box now.
