I just found out today that a buddy from PTSD group passed away yesterday from complications from Cancer related to exposure to Agent Orange. I really upset over this and will take some time away to process this and work through it. 35 years after that useless war we are still dying from its effects. Please pray for Ross Martin.

Grieving is not optional, and highly recommended. Real men can indeed cry. Kindly rest assured that many others are grieving with you.

Maybe we should start a drive to have a Wall addendum, to include all the names of our brothers and sisters who died from complications of this and that, directly attributable to the war.

Unhappy Rest In Peace Ross Martin:

Rest In Peace Ross Martin. You are finally rid of the Pain and Suffering originating from your time in Nam.

When Ross arrived at those Pearly Gates I know Saint Peter stated these words to him:

"Another Vietnam Veteran reporting as ordered. Enter immediately--YOU HAVE ALREADY SPENT YOUR TIME IN HELL.

Ross Martin arriving at Heaven's Gates

Ross Martin immediately after arriving:


To all of my Vietnam Veteran Brothers and Sisters I again state:


WELCOME HOME


VIETNAM 1968
