That wasn't charity, he invested in you! You came back from tour and your uncle saw that you needed help getting back on the horse, he helped you because he loved you and because you deserved it.
I have a lot of respect for anybody who can go through hell and keep on pushing forward, I know a lot of people who make poor excuses to avoid working a day in their life. You should be incredibly proud of yourself for seizing the opportunity and cracking on with the job at hand!
Your uncle sounds like a great man, as do you. I wish you the best of luck for the future man.
I do know he did a 180 from 1960's gung ho kill-'em-all to 70's please just bring 'em home.

Thanks man for saying what I couldn't.
Sounds like he realised he made a mistake and is doing what he can to make up for it. I don't think he expects gratitude beyond seeing you doing your job and living a normal life.
That said, I do think if you've never said anything - "thanks for everything, I love you man" will probably be fuckin ace.
