Asian Americans to Democrats: “we want safe streets, good schools and less progressive ideology.”

“Every parent’s nightmare is hearing that their child is missing. It is heart-wrenching and devastating,” said Kathy Platoni, a psychologist and Army veteran who has worked with other military families who have lost loved ones to suicide.

“We don’t know at this point what led to this, but we do know that mental health struggles are real,” Platoni added. “My heart goes out to this family and I hope and pray that they find their son safe and sound.”

As the search for Gray continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. The Waukegan Police Department has set up a tip line specifically for this case, and the NCIS is also accepting tips.

“We’re just hoping that someone saw something, or heard something, or has some information that will help us find him,” Maura Gray said. “We just want him to know that we love him and we miss him.”

The search for Sailor Seamus Gray serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families. Gray joined the Navy to serve his country and pursue his dreams, but his struggles with mental health may have contributed to his disappearance.

As a society, we must continue to support our service members and veterans, not only during their time in the military, but also during their transition back to civilian life. Mental health care must be a top priority, and we must work to eliminate the stigma that surrounds seeking help for mental health issues.

Until Sailor Seamus Gray is found, his family and friends will continue to hold out hope and pray for his safe return.
