Thanks C . j . . Great writing and many truths in it . Being one that did protest even though I was to young to go . I learned a lot from them , One time after a fairly violent protest that was really started by the police , until then just chants . We were all running from the police for a few blocks , one of the leaders said go inside the head shop we will be safe . We all did the owner opened the attic there were drinks and guns , They started handing out the guns . I said no thanks if i wanted to shoot a gun I would of been in Vietnam . I reopened the attic door and left . I have met many that served , I always salute and thank them . Only some wanted to be there rest was the draft , so not there fault for being stuck in a garbage war . As for VA hospitals and care , many think that haven't been to one that they are great . i know here in NY most are terrible , they misdiagnose many things . I feel so sad for all those that passed and or sick now . They are true heroes that got stuck in a bs war .Hugs and peace C.J.

I’m glad I could help you understand, Kristin. It was a tumultuous era and I hope the world never sees one like it again. We were a country divided.

The nicest thing you could do is try and get them to talk about it. No one wanted to listen back then so a lot of us buried our feelings —that isn’t healthy.

Thank you again.

hugs,

CJ

Then you aren't just a nurse, you're an angel. Yes, another perspective and you can do so much to help them if they will open up and talk about those days.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🤍🤍
