Dec 2016

I was badly wounded in a firefight about 7 weeks after that battle and was hospitalized for 18 months. On my first pass from the Army hospital in San Francisco, with only my uniform to wear, I got on a bus and a woman began yelling and screaming at me, calling me 'baby killer' and other names. There were other indignities, but I forgave that woman on the bus and the others long ago.

Some still harbor resentments from those long-ago days, but most of us have moved on and put aside the bygones, and work to support our veterans returning from war today.
