Emotionally charged...for those who know

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2003)

I shed so many tears as of five minutes ago...I had just finished watching "Platoon". My dad served in 1965-1966 during the beginning of the war with the 1st Cavalry. I don't deserve to have a father who was fortunate to live through a war where there where so many unanswered questions at the end. He came back with no deep scars, physical or mental. He remembers losing friends, comrades in arms whom for some reason, never had a chance to tell of their experiences in Vietnam because their lives were cut short.
I will continue to watch "Platoon". To remember those who gave their life in a confusing war. To remember those who came back scarred deeply: physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. To remember those who came back with no deep scars at all, but somewhat painful and sometimes even fond memories of their buddies in Vietnam.
And I will cry for them ALL.....
