I was a grunt, 11bravo in Vietnam. Damned few know what we went through. You have nothing to be ashamed of. War is hell, and that's not just a cliche. You came home alive, in one piece. I did too; but we'll never be the same. We have lived through something many didn't survive. Be proud of that. Heal, and go on with life. You survived for a reason. Live, and learn what that was.
You have my support and respect. There is a lot of hate out there in our country today. Ignore it, and live your life without need of their blessing. You won't need it. I certainly don't. Good luck and good fortune to you.
