Vietnam

Been awhile since I've written in this post. Just when you think you've about got to a place where you can handle it all Vietnam rears its ugly head. All I have done today is think about Vietnam and those I left behind. I knew it was going to be a bad day because right off the bat the subject of Vietnam came up. Many have asked me if I am going to the "Welcome Home" celebration in Charlotte in March. Probably not. Whats the point. This should have happened a long time ago. Then I heard from a couple of guys from the Ia Drang and that didn't help matters any. Depressing to say the least. Survivors guilt to say the least and when you try to explain it no one understands. Yeah they say they do but you can look into their eyes and tell they don't. Only other Vietnam Vets understand. When will this shit stop?
Peace
