Thumbs up

Thank you Tina , sometimes you sound like the voice of an angel. Ron , what James said. Laying in a destroyed barn in Gettysburg , alone , when a NVA point man comes out of the woodline headed towards the barn - behind him is at least a company. Straight towards me. He is about 30 feet away and I know he is going to see me any second. I start to squeeze the triger - I wake up soaked and half the time screaming. Peace. Thank you Tina

The dreams will still haunt us, the memories will always be with us. We might go back to Vietnam in our dreams but when we wake up we always come home. Tina I know the power of the wall. I touched the name of my best buddy Gary Peteson. The emotions over whelmed me. I cried for at least 5 minutes. Seeing his name and then touching his name, I could see his face, I could hear him tell me that he is okay, and for me to let him rest in peace, and that we will see each other again on a different plain. It was a great healing experience. After all those brave men and women died, so that we may live.

The Wall is just like that for me. I will keep going back every once in a while and be with my buddies. I really do feel them there and it is some sad but a lot good.
