I have wondered for 32 years ........

[DMZ-LT]

..... what my men thought of me in combat. Through the computer I have made contact with two guys that were in my platoon. One just a few days ago. One of the ways I have tried to remain sane is to convince myself I SAVED lives , but their bodies too often told me I failed. That mission/men thing is tough. I spoke to one guy last night for the first time since that time. Tiny told me they were glad I was there, that I gave them comfort , took heat from above, that I was a rebellious LT . and I was THERE. That I gave them comfort when they were dying following my orders is a hugh burden lifted from me. He said ( and they did ) that they would have followed me to hell and back.. I am honored and humbled in my soul to have served with such outstanding people. Thank you for listening and a specail thanks to sis and Dave and Burn for this communication site. God bless us one and all. Welcome home.
