My father was drafted as a Marine and I never heard him speak a word of what he went through and I just thought he wasn’t ever on the front lines. Even though he survived Vietnam he lost his battle to Lung cancer. The last few weeks of his life he spoke about what he went through and brought a album of pictures that I never knew existed. Part of his stories was that he was involved with the Khe Sanh siege being constantly bombarded by artillery, snipers and assaults on the base for over 2 months. The destruction I seen from his pictures he took are breathtaking. It puts in perspective of what these brave men went through fighting for their lives from a overwhelming force. Growing up my dad was always the tough guy who never express any emotions. I never seen him shed a tear, he was stoic to say the least. But hearing him talk about what he went through, how terrified he was, I saw tears flow from his eyes and I saw a completely different side of my father that I never knew existed. My father was deeply affected looking at these pictures and it dawn on me that this was the first time he looked at these pictures since he put them in the album over 50 years ago. It’s no wonder we never seen them or ever heard of them cuz it was a painful remember of what he and other brave men went through.

Uncle was in the Airforce and he made it most of the way through life without any major health problems till he was around 57-58. Being a mechanic, he was exposed to agent orange and probably many other chemicals. He eventually had loads of health problems show up and he had to get both legs amputated. His health did get a little better but once his wife left him after everything he just couldn't do it. His health declined to the point where he had to stay in the hospital and that is where he passed away. I never got to say goodbye and I never got to go to his funeral because I was away for a vacation at the time and a big storm came through. Even though the storm cleared up it was still 'raining' for a good few weeks. I do have peace of mind knowing that he is no longer suffering physically or mentally anymore though. He held on till he was 67 and that is long enough. RIP Richard 2019.

Was able to talk with the medic and really didn't feel any pain until I was air lifted to an aid station. I'm 73 yrs old now and I still can't figure out if our involvement in Vietnam was right or wrong. I can not complain because I have a great wife of 44 years and a grown son and daughter.
