5. I was too young for Vietnam, but I am fascinated by it and the men
who were there fighting. I read a lot on the subject and cannot imagine what it must have been like to have been there.

Our family has a friend who returned from Vietnam and wanted nothing to do with society at all. He built a cabin deep in the woods and avoided people as much as possible for two years.

I don't think society has any idea the problems that our military men and women will be facing when they return from Iraq -- mentally and physically. They are going to need a lot of help and I am afraid that many of them will not get it.

I like your Vietnam Veterans Against the War sticker. I have a "W -- Footprint of the American Chickenhawk" and "Veterans Against Iraq" on my car. So far, no one has said a word to me about them.
