Hello, I'm Lily May. Lily because its my favorite flower and May because I was born in May. A friend told me about this site so I thought I would try it out. I am an army veteran and my husband is a Vietnam veteran. I was hoping that if I participated on the site maybe my husband could read the postings on this site and come out of his "Vietnam, I don't like to talk about it" shell. You all have such good stories to share I look forward to participating what I can.

Welcome Home!
However I must warn you. I'm the self appointed site therapist. And, I'm just about the only normal person on this site. And, most of the time I'm not so sure about me.
But, watch out for Brother Bob the booger man. And Curtis and Tom Packo oh well the list just goes on and on.

Welcome to PF, and more importantly, Welcome Home to your hubby!
Now, from the official Curmudgeon Emeritus, Counselor Extraordinary, and all 'round good guy, some words of advice:
1. Any counseling you get from Keith needs to checked first with me. He's a little suspect, caused by breathing too much rarefied air from the Northwest.
2. Under no circumstances accept a ride, a free drink, or anything else substantive from bOOger. Even my best counseling efforts have only had minimal effects.
3. There will be others, no doubt, that will chime in, welcoming you here, but be wary - some of them live by that phrase, 'the cheese done slid off his cauliflower.'
:D :D

Lily May,
Welcome to the PF and after you tell your hubby Welcome Home, tell him to get his butt on here too!!!!
PS .... no need to watch out for bOOger, he's as innocent as a new born baby ...... and if you believe that, then I have a mountain in Georgia to sell ya.

COL Geezer;
He just turned 65 and is going senile or delusional, we aren't sure but whatever he's got it ain't good. :D
But he is right about Booger Man. I call him Brother Bob so he'll feel like he belongs to family.
Keith :D
Lil I want to welcome you here. these guys will make you feel at home around here

Thank you all very much, I feel welcome already. I'll pass the "welcome home" to my husband. As a female veteran I will try to pass on the "female veteran" point of view. I'm sure our training and experiences were somewhat different than yours. One of the first things I noticed was I was able to consume alcohol at an earlier age. Funny, the things that pop to your mind first. Another thing was all of the men, I loved the odds. I personally feel that all females should join the military, its a real eye opener and a good way to learn to take orders and respect your fellow soldiers. Thanks again for the welcome.

Lily...welcome to the site! I am the resident "Little Brother" to most of these guys, they talk alot but you only have to be careful when April rolls around. In the animal kingdom, spring brings the stirrings within, for these folks it brings something entirely different! They will try to encourage you to take part in a "Midget Toss, Choir Club, Revival and the such, rest assured, the only advice you need for any of these offerings sould be requested from me and me alone!
Welcome here and thanks for your service!

Hey Lily - Welcome Aboard and take note my Grand-Daughter's name is "Lily" Kate. Being born in May (like me) makes you a Taurus and that is scary. We Taurus don't learn things real quick and the learning curve always takes a dip to two before it climbs back up.
I hope you can put up with most of us as we are getting abit senile of late. (not really) These guys and gals are all pretty sharp and full of compassion and goodness. You would be hard pressed to find a better site to unload.

Lily May welcome to the site, hope you and husband can get the support that I have from this site. A bunch of wonderful guys and gals on this site who help each other. I hope that soon your husband will get the help he needs to cope with this Vietnam experience too many of our brothers and sisters are still out there suffering from their experiences whether it be Vietnam, WWII, Korean War, Desert Storm, and now with Iraq and Afghanistan. Thank you for service in the Army also.
