Days come and days go, but it is how you use them that counts. As veterans we often fall into the darkside, and let past memories over take us. We wake up screaming with Vietnam nightmares.

Here is what I do when something like this happens:

  1. Clear out your mine of all of the negative things.
  2. Fill your mind with good thoughts.
  3. Repeat.

________________________________________________________________

Is it that simple? I think so. I know it is hard to eliminate some thoughts. They are embedded into your brain, but always keep trying to push them out and it will happen eventually. You are too important to others to let the darkside win.

I had a bad hair while working at hill 468 in South Korea. (All the hills were numbered in Korea.)

It was very foggy. I couldn’t even see the gate. I stayed inside the hut.

Then I started hearing something where the equipment was kept. I opened the door to look, but the fog was too thick to see anything. Even with me opening the door the noises continued.

Then it sounded like a gas container had been opened. I then knew what going on.

A slicky boy (thief) Was stealing gas. Gas brought in big bucks on the black market.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I picked up my M-1 rifle and shot twice in the air. The noises stopped immediately. I could hear someone running.

The next day after the fog went away, I walked out to the gate area. In the rolling barbed wire I found a shoe with blood on it. Nothing else was there.

How that guy got through that wire I do not know even today.

I have an interview coming up in the book that will knock your socks off. He is a Vietnam veteran and opened fully to his time in Vietnam. This one interview should be enough for you to buy the book.

He was wounded three times, and still went back to more times to Vietnam. You only had to go one time, and he went three.
