A lot of my father’s friends were Vietnam veterans. I grew up around these men. As I got older, the stories got more detailed and vivid. I’m nearly 50 years old and still can’t imagine going through that much as a 20 year old. I have the utmost respect for these veterans.

My brothef was in Vietnam in 1971 to 1972, he was military Policeman, and before he passed away he told me he wanted to be with his comrades. When he passed away. He never talked about Vietnam, i hope and pray he is with his comtades and at peace, we were very close, when he passed awaay, my heart and soul were torn from from me. Thats how close we were, hmay have been13 years older than me, but, he was the toungest boy and i was the youngest girl of the family. And i love and miss him and hope he is at peace.

For the past few years, I always try to thank the veterans for their service to the nation in Vietnam. One of the ways that I am able to identify those persons is the caps/hats that they wear, proudly. I cannot imagine what any type of war would be like, and I’m so fortunate that I never had to go or serve.

I served with a lot of Vietnam vets for nine years in late 70’s to mid 80’s with one being a Medal of Honor winner and only once did I ask what they experienced, none talked about it because the men I served with were all Infantry and saw the worst of it. I’m now 67 years old and it makes me cry knowing what they went through. I got lucky and missed all the conflicts from 1977 to 1986. The pain of lost men in a war that made no sense since the Political class so easily threw the life’s of these young men away. America needs to quit fighting other countries war. GOD bless to all who served in this war and made it home. Your stories have forever changed my life.

I was a resident in Portland, Oregon at the VA Hospital and Oregon Health Science University. I will never forget the Hero’s in the Hospital…. The Wars never end for these men and women….. These Wars end 7:59 when their last child dies, because that is when the War ends for those most affected……. We need leaders who try to not get us into these conflicts unless it is absolutely necessary…. Time for us to quit fighting for people who refuse to fight for themselves…… One of my cousins was assigned to a fire base on top of a small mountain in Vietnam. At night the VC would climb the mountain and try to kill them…. When he came home he could not sleep unless he has a rifle lying on his chest. RIP Leslie, I know Vietnam changed you, you deserved better , RIP cousin.

In Korea,I have met quite a few Viet war vets in my life. 1 common and the most remarkable thing about them altogether is that they don't talk. You don't even know they were there. For example, there was a bus driver in my work place. A guy next to him rougly tells you that he was a commando and had been deployed to nam,etc. No one has no idea what those guys did there or what they have been through. They just don't talk.

Another part of me - the sage within me in my older years, praises God for sparing me hell on earth. Total respect for those guys, we're similar ages but I feel they have aged more.

All of my family served, Grandfather, Father,Uncles etc, in one form or another. And the sacrifice made by all who serve, especially those mentioned here ,so young, in such horrendous circumstances should never be forgotten, cast aside or belittled. As a Cousin across the pond, I forward our utmost admiration, respect and revrence to the memory of these poor souls, and those that carry that burden. Sadly thats all I can offer.

I have seen a whole bunch of these Vietnam vet stories, and every time the vet looks like he could have experienced the memory last week instead of 60 years ago. It seems even all those years have done little or nothing to dull those painful memories. I've heard some say "It's always 15 minutes away for us..." This must be why PTSD is so devastating for so many vets, and for such a long time, these memories don't fade much I think! Fortunately with the millions of people that served during "war on terror", it seems to have spurred those in the psychiatric field to study the issue more intensively. And thanks to the efforts of many, the head-shrinkers seem to slowly be getting a much better grasp on the problem and how to treat it, which so many vets so badly need. Before a cure can be developed, one must define the issue to its root cause. And one part of a meaningful definition of PTSD includes a presumption that it is based on a memory - but a memory whose volume is set too high. While this is surely a complete over-simplification of PTSD, a mental health professional or researcher using that simple presumption, can then begin to break the problem down to its roots; and while doing so, possibly gain a better understanding of what the elements of a cure might include. Many new techniques have been tried in the battle to successfully treat PTSD. They include some treatments using VR technology to (voluntarily) place the patient in a milder re-creation of combat events that caused the painful memory. Re-enacting painful memories can enable the patient to re-visit the situation, in a safe and controlled environment - which, it is hoped, might give the patient more perspective and a better understanding of the trauma and how he/she can respond to it with new ways of thinking. Other treatments that are even more radical, include the use of drugs (even psychedelic drugs such as Ayahuasca) in a controlled setting. While the way it works is not fully understood, there are many patients who have benefitted greatly from it, even sometimes gaining an entirely new way of thinking about the trauma, and actual relief from the agonizing effects of their traumatic life events. The point here, of course, is not that a drug trip is an easy way to treat PTSD! The point is, when old methods of treatment fail, those brave souls in the psychiatric/psychological field who can devise and test new treatments, may be the only hope for creating an effective treatment for PTSD. In the ongoing struggle to find some sort of effective, long term solution for this truly devastating psychological condition, to give up the search is simply not an option. Because not only has 20 years of war on terror created thousands if not millions more veterans desperately in need of a solution. The ongoing Russo-Ukraine War has created perhaps millions more victims, who will only grow in number with each passing day!

He had a lot behind his eyes that he could never speak about. Yet you knew it was experiences and tons of pain. I understood why no one ever argued with him and gave him space when he gave you "THAT SPECIAL LOOK". He was beyond respected, he was feared, and for good bloody reason.

Said he was recon in vietnam and he was sent into the jungle sometimes for months on end, solo, and was expected to survive and come back living off whatever he could. He told me about some basic survival stuff like taking a metal spike and tapping on it in mud to get worms for sustenance, and if you take two sticks, wrap em in tin foil, and place it between your tent and the campfire, you can funnel hot air into your tent to stay warm. I asked him why he chooses to live the way he does and he says he spent so much time surviving alone and training for it he cant imagine living any other way, and he cant hold a job while taking the drugs he needs to keep his trauma away. He seemed content with his lifestyle so I didnt pry further, I was just grateful for the conversation

Absolutely unacceptable for Military Leaders and Politicians to put our men in harm’s way so unnecessarily… I hope they are paying for what they’ve done to Southeast Asia, and a whole generation of Americans and their families in the afterlife, but what do I know…

God must have let his friend live for those 4 days to deal with his eternal soul. I bet his friend has quite the story for him some day up there.

Did you ever hear the British families of those fallen in combat receive an anonymous phone call saying along the lines of "we got the man who killed your son" and they hang up. (Courtesy of the SAS)

This is why it's important to only go to war for good reasons, and to always seek a peacefully solution. Ope, did someone say oil? Tally ho, brethren!

All of that gusto and all of that idealism, the sense that what you're embarking on is all for a " Great and just cause", gets swept away the moment the rear door opens and the smell preceeding the wave of simmering heat glares at you with full contempt , welcoming you to " sunny South East Asia". Horizontal rains driven by winds so thick it appeared to be a solid wall of water off of a waterfall pushed by some enormous fan driving it all sideways. Morning and evenings, ground fog would rise up from the heating up of the jungle floor with what few areas could reach down from 160 foot tall triple canopy overstory that were available to receive the warmth of the sun. You'd see shapes, forms, some certain pattern or a slight whirl of mist or fog that would give barely a trace as to its origin and without any further motion, the entire world felt like it had un-loaded and directed everything they had on you. They had in fact, done just that but they weren't counting on the counter fire. People get consumed by whats going on immediately to the front of them in , especially during. itense brief split seconds of time lived in milliseconds of a life . Most would be speechless to see just how fast all of this takes place and even more still , might not have the compunction to continue. Wars ugly. It's a dirty, nasty, grimy, hot, humid, sweaty dull and routine yet intensely horrifying time frame that isn't what some may feel it is. The varying shapes and forms that a human body can take on when subjected to shearing jagged steel and the caveman appearances of wounds suffered are ample evidence on ones own to be convinced that it can happen to you too , just by being in the wrong place at the exact precise wrong moment in time. When medics go through the feild medic course, the combat medic badge portion to be qualiied to do that job , they already have acknowledged that , some of their charges, will go down and there is a very high odds they too will go down while doing what they are fully committed to do. Bring them back home, one way or another. Sometimes, the optimum outcome, doesn't always happen. My brothers, who I got back and mostly to those who I couldn't, I stand for you.... Every single one.
