As a VN combat vet I brought home horrible demons it took me 40+ years to shed. I went thru periods of violence, crime, drug use, bar fighting, multiple wives, kids, etc. Trust me when I say there is nothing romantic or fun about real combat. Every vet I know has or had issues of trauma. My PTSD is now in a manageable place. I have good relationships, true love, a peaceful heart and demeanor. It IS possible to heal from traumas.

I served in the 9th infantry division in 1968 and fighting in heavy combat caused me to not want to deal with people because they would always cause problems that would lead to me having sleeping disorders with horrible ghosts that followed me home from Vietnam that only stood behind me which I couldn't see them but felt their presence that made my heart pound.

I was 18 when I served 1 tour in Korea and also did 1 tour in the Vietnam region. It took me about 1 year to fit back into the world. The war was very unpopular at that time back home. The soldiers coming back home didn't get much respect coming back home from Vietnam. Thanks to all the Veterans that served in Vietnam.

I am a New Zealander, a "kiwi". We sent our boys to Vietnam and also to Korea. They were not treated as heroes on their return, much to our nations shame. It is only now they are recognised for what they contributed, many of them damaged mentally and also physically due to the chemicals used. Poor boys.

Today I was at Walmart and I saw an old man with a Vietnam special forces veteran hat and I walked up to him and said thank you but he was one of the nicest guys I have ever met he shook my hand he smiled he was just a really nice guy and I’m really sad to see these guys go just like the WW2 vets

I'm a 77-year old Latina who worked in Washington D.C. at the beginning of the Vietnam War. I met hundreds and hundreds of young men going to Vietnam. We drank lots and danced lots. We all knew it wasn't a good war (mostly because we were babyboomers 18-24 years old and naive), but were convinced it was for democracy. Rolling Stones was just new to the USA back then, but I dance to "Miss You" quite often. Watching this video made sense as to why I am like I am...reclusive. I know I lost my soulmate in that war.

Being one of the guys riding in the Hueys, 18 years old, eyes wide open, it was a thrill to serve my country.
