The testimony and insight from you and others who were there is invaluable. It's really helpful to hear from you even as you work through your own war trauma.

I remember when Desert Shield began. I was working at the the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in D.C. and there were antiwar protests there. Not right at the Wall, but nearby as the memorial is treated as sacred ground and not a place for for politics.

I'd processed my VN War experience more than once, but Desert Shield/Storm drove me back into the psychologist's office at the Vet Center. It was a big trigger!
