Hello - I am currently updating the VVA272.com website and have just now come across this comment posted by you back in 2008. Although it may be 3 years later - the topic is very current. I have added it to the "Web Links of Interest" section. Take care, and may God Bless You.

Welcome Home Brother! I will look for your book for both myself and for the library at the Hut. Thank you for taking the time to write on an issue that is shared by many of us. Again, Thanks! A Brother Always, Jim

I served in the infantry in Vietnam and returned home only to suffer from PTSD even until now. I was able to talk myself out of ending my dreams of hell many times. Seeing news reports of so many new vets returning home, only to end their lives, finally drove me to write a book (My Life, My Hell This Grunt?s Journey Back to the World). I wrote it as an outreach to my fellow Vietnam Veterans and our new returning veterans in order to help them heal from PTSD, for their families and friends to understand why we suffer. I also charge America to give Korean and Vietnam Veterans the long overdue respect and honor deserved for their service. The book can be located on the net by searching my complete name.

Thanks for posting the tribute poem for all to see. I know it's not much but I wanted to do something special because so many of you have been so wonderful to my family and me both prior to, during, and after my son's deployment. We hope that each of you are richly blessed because you most certainly deserve it. Drop us a line when you have time and let us know how you are and if there's anything we can do for you.

Seeking Vietnam Vets

Fourteen Vietnam Vets Needed for Agent Orange Claims Research Project

Graduate student at Johns Hopkins University seeks Vietnam vets for a comparative study of the VA’s “Fast Track Agent Orange Claims Processing System”. The study involves interviews with two groups of seven Vietnam vets each who have filed a VA claim of service connection for any of the three following conditions: ischemic heart disease, hairy cell and other B-Cell leukemias and Parkinson’s disease – one group of seven who’ve filed using the on-line fast track system and one group of seven who has not used the fast track system. For more information, contact Kelly Campbell at kcampbell826@gmail.com or 301/575-7318 by October 25th.

NOTE: this study’s I.R.B. documentation has been filed and reviewed by VVA’s I.R.B. research officer and judged to be in compliance with all applicable human subjects research guidelines.

I came across "A Military Man's Promise" on Facebook and wanted to share it with you all, it begins . . .

"I cannot promise you every night of my life. I cannot promise to be beside you for every difficult moment, every trial, and every hardship. In truth, I can promise you that I will not be with you for most. I will leave you at inconvenient times. Any special date to us may be tainted with the anniversary of the death of one of my friends. I will ask you to take over whatever life we have built together for months and years at a time. And will then crash back into that life that you have used your sweat, your tears and your heartache to keep together, and try to take it back as I knew it before.
