I turned 18 in Jan 73. Registered for the draft in Feb 73. Nixon ended it in March 73.. Looking back, I was very lucky...

Sorry to hear that. I am blessed that my dad survived the ordeal and the 3 years he was over in country.

Some of my older sisters lost classmates in Vietnam....and some came home and committed suicide. Came from a mile square town, everybody knew as soon as someone died.

Saw the special this past Tuesday night on PBS. Those events occurred well after I was discharged (got out in 68). Spent two tours in 'Nam', saw a lotta sh!t happening. Even with my PTSD, and as bad as things got, I never considered suicide. I've got a good ole lady who understands me and helps me overcome my issues. God, I love growing old with that Gal!
