small world today at the Vet Center

[MORTARDUDE]

I have had a bad past several weeks. went into bunker mode but have made some decisions and feel better. went to the Vet Center for my 10:00 am group session and it turned into over and hour and half instead of an hour..lots of hurting vietnam combat vets out there...anyway, i went to see my new counselor afterwards to sign up for the 7 week in-patient treatment program in Little Rock, and i noticed a plaque from the Jonesboro, Arkansas group ( they go to 10 diff. towns around memphis each week ) who made him an "honorary Vietnam Vet" ( he was in the Army in Alaska ) and one of the names on it was a friend from my platoon. In talking to the counselor, my friend is a regular and he mentioned 2 other members from my platoon there also. he invited me to go over with him tomorrow. i am making a copy of the 8 min video, which they are on, and am taking "into Cambodia" and some other stuff I saved...I look forward to this. I haven't met anyone from my platoon, face-to-face, since Nov. 1970....
