Do not forget the women who served in Viet Nam...

5. Wow! What a story.

They paid a price in other ways also, not just the ones who died. My sister drank a lot for many years after the war, didn't really know how to adjust to "normal" life once again. She got a nice apartment but the entire time she lived there she never bothered to get any furniture. Just a small twin bed. She sat on boxes in her living room. She dreaded holidays where there was fireworks. She really was never the same again either. As a woman I can see how she probably had very little in common with most American women her age. She didn't quit drinking until she was in her early sixties.
