All I can say, as inadequate as it is, is thank you for your service and sacrifice. My response was directed solely at an organization which I believe is using veterans to advance a negative agenda.
I agree with your opposition to the Left’s agenda and I appreciate your warm words. We did what we were supposed to do and I was lucky enough to survive it.
The “shakes” as we used to call it, happened to everyone and sometimes could be funny. When I came back for a short leave in early ‘67, I went to visit a girlfriend who worked in a large department store. That store had large automatic sliding glass doors and just as I went in, a car backfired right behind me.
I hit the floor so fast I hurt my nose and the darn glass doors closed around my waist and I was caught like a fish. I lay there struggling for a bit and an older woman came up to me and asked me what was wrong.
I got up all red-faced and said “epilepsy, Ma’am” and escaped.
