Namaste Senetta! I have subbed here not because I need anything (don't think that I do), but because I support the kind of person that I think you are. In other words, I support your work, just as others have supported my work feeding the poor, saving the helpless, etc., etc. all those things that work best when your mental health is healthy! I too am a vet from the Nam times, one who was once nuts for sure (but in a destructive way, not as in today's way). I speak to younguns as well, but as an old bum boomer vet (as seen on the park in DC - FREE THE POWS) I live in the jungles of Nepal (for good reason). But interesting enough, I have a conversation at least once a week with an American or TWO, as peeps flock here like migrating birds it seems, at least once in a lifetime. I did once, but never left. Ha! Best of luck on your series.
My fellow veteran what a breath of fresh air. You know when a veteran meets another veteran it's like a class reunion. I was in the Gulf War, nothing like Nam though. If you don't mind me saying, what a brave soul you are to live in Nepal. I'm not sure if you meant the literal jungle or not I lived outside during the war for only 7 months, yes I was in shock the entire 7 months. A city girl from the west side of Detroit in the desert, a deer in headlights for sure. A lot has changed with the military and the VA. I'm fourth generation and we have our fifth generation that has been given the baton. I hope all is well and let's stay in touch.
yes, it's just like that, isn't it? no matter what the war, point in history, generation, or trench, meetings between vets are a reunion, even online, which is rather surprising to me, that one can feel true emotions through this box, but it's so, you can, I do. I hope to god that never changes, thank you for your service.
