snip....bad heart from birth ,couldn't go with the rest of the guys, ...

snip...boom .that hit him hard. he never talked about anything over seas.till about 2 years before he died in 2016. he told me stuff mom didnt know,.....

There is a good reason they say that "War is Hell". It affects everyone, differently, but so deeply. Even those that did did not go are affected. For those that went and made it back, how can they possibly forget the things they saw and HAD to do!!!!. For those too young to have gone, how can they possibly understand the reasons for their loved ones act as they do. Some vets seem to do ok, others, not so much.

Bad heart kept me out of the mess in Vietnam. I still feel guilty when I remember my friends who went and did not come home, or came home with horrific injuries, both seen and unseen.

Life is hard, we do the best we can.
