VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Bronze Star w/ V device, stood eyeball to eyeball with NVA sappers, and lived.
I didn't roll around in the mud like a grunt but sure know what killing feels like.
I just never thought I would have to explain every time Air Force came into the conversation so I just don't.
Don't consider myself a "hero" just someone who wanted to get home.
Sometimes it feels like just being a vet is cause for PTSD.
I understand what the other posts are saying, glad you all have come to terms,
I am still treading water, maybe someday. This is all I have to say.
