I wish you had your Home in Nam

 I am in my late 50's when I came back from Nam my son only remembered me from a picture. he was 3 years old. Every night when I lay down to sleep you can bet before morning breaks I will have had my war played over, over and over again. To wake up choking your wife because you think she is the enemy. Wake up sometimes hiding in the corner cause you are out on a night stake out, try walking down a street and a loud noise causes you to scream out "In Coming" and many more memories I don't care to discus cause I try not beleive them myself. You can be mad at all of us for going over to help your country, but while your getting mad think of this, the only ones of us that sleep good at night are written on the Black Marble Wall in Washington, and we like all the othe Vets going back to our beging at Valley Forge can not forget what we have seen. You cry because your father lost the hearing in one ear, Hell I can hardly walk, but every morning I get up to the Sunrise
drink a cup of coffee and say a prayer for my friends on the wall. Yes I am greatful to be alive no matter of pain or my endless nightmares of war.
