I spent a year in northern part of South Vietnam near the supposed DMZ. What a bunch of God forsaken places. Upon my return to an ungrateful country I went underground and did not come out until "The Wall" was dedicated in November 1982. I visited "The Wall' three times between 1986 and 1988. My visits and the touching of names began the purging of some demons and the beginning of some openness and healing. Thousand of young American men dead for nothing. I was there when a few of them left their bodies. What a waste of life.
