Subject: Correspondance wanted With Veitnam Veterans

I am looking for veterans from the Veitnam war who would be willing to share their personal stories and accounts with me for a book I am writing based on a fictional carachter who is a Vietnam Veteran. I have always thought the Veitnam Veterans have been treated unjustly since their return from the war and was outraged when I read a recent story posted on a webesite that stated their were no heroes In Veitnam. It is my personal opinion that any man who fought in the longest war in history under the type of inhumane conditions these American soldiers did and returned home to continue to fight the battle of being accepted by a society that had turned against the very men who fought for them is a hero in my book. I would also like to extend my condolences and gratitude to the families of those who lost a loved one to this war and let them know they are and always will be heros in my eyes. They are not forgotten. My hopes for the book I am writing is to show through a fictional carachter, the personal and emotional effects on Veitnam Veterans not only during the war, but after the war and how they were treated when they returned to society. If you would be willing to share your true stories feelings thoughts and emotions with me so I can better understand the truth and hopefully through a fictional charchter which young people can relate too help my younger generation to know the Veterans side of the story and not just the very little we were taught in our schools. To me it seems to be the war the world chooses to forget, but if we forget that war, especially now, will our American troops return from Iraq only to be treated like our Veitnam Veterans??????????????? Will history repeat itself through them????????
