the war killed more than just our men it killed our spirits as well.some have flashes and forget where they are from time to time,some have the shakes so bad its all you can do to understand.most just live with the nightmares and memory's because it still doesn't make sense,you did what you did because you believed in what your country said was true,my uncle said the worst feeling he ever got was the fact people spit on him when he first came home,he cried for days over that ,I AM CONVINCED HE DONE THE RIGHT THING.It takes a strong person to carry that load,but it's no excuse to be angry,or hold against other people.IT'S FUNNY EVERYONE 19 AND YOUNGR WANTS TO KNOW'BUT YET WHEN YOU TELL THEM THEY LOOK AT YOU LIKE THEY ARE SEEING YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME.i want to know why people who have so much give so little respect to the ones who help them keep their freedom in the first place.I MISS MY DAD THANKS DAD !!!!!!!
