Thank you all. I am a bit overwhelmed.

I would like to accept your thanks on behalf of those whom I meet at the VA who are unable to absorb it. Of course, that may not really be possible, but I like to believe so. I will tell them at my next PTSD group which is this Friday.

I will report what they have to say to this thread.

Personally, I especially want to thank you all for your support. This does help me to come to terms with what happened in-country and what happened on my return. For that I am grateful.

One of my favorite short prayers is:

"God, I thank you for what you gave me, what you took away, and what you have left me."

It's all about acceptance.

I too have a heavy heart because of the way the people treated returning VETS from Vietnam. Unfortunately, tooo many Americans at the time believed what they heard from the Media. Kerry and gang didn't help either.

I sincerely hope that someday your heart is lightened and you can go on. I know it will be hard.
At least you have belief in your God to help. I'm not there yet, believing in a God.

Hold tight your faith and hopefully it will help you.
