As a Vietnam veteran, it means more than people can imagine when they thank me for my service. We did not receive this kind of response when we came home. I thank all veterans of all wars for their sacrifice, and the families who have suffered as a result of their service. Semper Fi! Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in most combat wars, their experiences would vary depending on where they were stationed.[35] The Department of Veterans Affairs also discovered that where a soldier was deployed and which branch of military they were with could also have drastic effects on their mental status after returning from service.
