[QUOTE="Calman, post: 1171588, member: 3341"] Hoss I have found the memories come and go. And after you get older you become immune to a lot of it. Like Dunn I could hardly get over the fact that people in my own country greeted me on return of my second tour with spitting on me, calling me a baby killer and even some fighting that wound up with six of us spending their first night stateside in jail.As Airborne Rangers we done what we were programed to do. In trying to forget I took the cowards way out by drowning myself in whiskey. Don't think I breathed a sober breath for six months. Tried to forget it all but the whisky didn't do it. Finally figured there is no forgetting. Had to learn to live with the memories. And once I discovered this it gradually became easier. Yes I still think back a lot of my veit nam time but it don't have near the impact as it use too. After all it has been 46 years ago. The two bullet scars didn't come close to having the affect the mental scars did. Welcome back home brother and hang in there it will get better. Thank you for serving, Sir! [/QUOTE]
