I will tell you, that I know that Viet Nam veterans need the support of those with a common experience to continue healing, such as it is. It all, never really goes away. I know that many Viet Nam veterans PTS symptoms have been triggered again by the events of Sept. 11th and this current war. My feelings are that the best way to truly honor all of our veterans is to continue to work for the cause of peace, while supporting veterans organizations that make a difference.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147259175811183482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-27320978122184107512007-11-12T08:18:00.000-06:002007-11-12T08:18:00.000-06:00Wonderful entry!

And how they had to deal with this... Hug and thank your Dan, for me. :-))))<BR/><BR/>And btw, what terrorizes my friend now, is that the present generation of military, will come to be reviled, in a similar way, when they return. That really terrorizes a lot of Nam vets...<BR/> <BR/>Especially when certain well known old vets call our present day warriors, by the names of killers and rapists. And those who called their generation, the same. If you 'get my drift.'

And that telegram his parents received...how worried they must have been about him. You have a very brave man as a husband and saying thank you doesn't even begin to justify what they did for us.
