Yes, me to, Sea. That's the unfortunate part of war, families get hurt too, not just the soldier.
When I was very young, my family rented an apartment from an elderly woman. My mother told me that she was a bit crazy and to stay away from her. One day that woman invited me into her apartment and I went. She was very nice to me, but I noticed pictures of a young man in uniform all over the room. Being very young, I asked her who he was and she told me that he was her husband, who was killed in WWI. In later years, I heard that she was committed to an asylum. I have always felt that it was her husband's death that was her downfall.
I am thinking of blogging it on my personal web space. Might be fun to do.

One more post. DH was in Vietnam. The 101st airborne. He still deals with the Malaria and the nightmares from it. He also still has some bad feelings about the war that was not a war and how soldiers were treated when they came home.
Now good night all.
Now good night all.
Jerry, in the 1970s, I was personally acquainted with several Viet Nam vets who clearly had psychological problems associated with their war experience.Yes, me to, Sea. That's the unfortunate part of war, families get hurt too, not just the soldier.

It well could have been. Some people retreat when things like that happen and that's probably why people thought she was crazy... My mom dated my dad's best friend before she dated my dad. He was mustard gassed. My dad stayed in the states and in the army for a long time -- but was civilian I guess by the time they "outted" our secret city... they named my brother after his friend...we grew up thinking of his parents as another set of grandparents.
That's the problem, when the war ends, the pain doesn't. Military personel and families carry the physical and mental scars for a lifetime.
I hate war and as far as I'm concerned, there had better be a damned good reason to fight one.

That's the page I've been leaving you Christmas cards and stuff on for the past couple of years, NCC. You left a Howdy on mine about 6 mos. ago. You can leave yourself a message there of your trip link so we can find it. I can't possibly find it now buried in this thread, and I haven't had a chance to view it.
And another......
It stands to reason as we are all about the same age... close enough anyway....
I'm not depressed. Maybe Jerry needs one of my happy place pills lol. It is sad though and by no means am I discounting anyone's feelings. They are what they are. Hugs to you Jerry. And yes, I have clothes on.
Gotcha. Even if I left a link it would be buried in hours on this thread. I'll have to post a link on my ECF Profile page, right?
Nope, I'm 97, Sun.
It's a thought, Sea.Take a deep breath and a stiff shot, Jerry.
Sorry jj. That malaria is awful when they go through it again and again. My brother used to get such a high fever and yell in his sleep.
But of course! I got the dr. to give me a few months freebies because they are so expensive.
