This is the continuation of the story I started last Saturday. I'm sorry it's so long but it should provide some insight into what we went through on our way back home.

That was awesome.
I always appreciate a man’s story and you tell yours well!
Much thanks for you service.

My husband spoke very kindly about the nurses in the hospital in Saigon. He was an enlisted Army guy.

I didn’t read the first one. This was fantastic. You’re an excellent writer and I enjoyed every word. I’m so glad you survived. Walking and running after that injury, just wow.

Documenting your story will live for generations for your family.

Another literary masterpiece — I can’t thank you enough for generously taking the time to write it and share it with us. I didn’t want it to end, and I anxiously await the next installment, if you are so inclined.

Such richness to the stories, with humor and heart, and connected with a humble realness that will stay with me for a long time.

This is publishable work, not only in print but as a film, or at the very least it is a slam sunk for the next popular podcast. Storytelling is making a huge comeback through podcasts, and it is becoming big business. I don’t mean to cheapen your experiences by suggesting there is profit potential, but this work has great value. The writing is superb and the stories are important and compelling.

I hope the writing process is not too painful for you as the memories come flooding back. But I suspect you are finding value in the process of crafting each paragraph. I like to think you are even enjoying it, since developing quality writing is an intensely creative and fulfilling thing.

I think I speak for many here and for those who will read your work in the future: It is time well spent. Thank you, and please carry on.

I found the disdain for Vets from the Vietnam war challenging. For the life of me I do not understand it. I was just a child during the time. I just don’t get it.

I note that you write with some grim sense of humor injected, so I hope you'll pardon me for picking up on the following statement in your riveting account:

You’d be amazed to hear the variety of interesting subjects 30 captive young men in the same room can come up with. Arguments were sort of pointless, since nobody could reach anybody else to fight it out.

Sooo... they were testing prototype internet forums even back then?
