title: The Pilot: Scott Roberts

description: [profile bio] Howard Stowe Roberts, Jr. was born on March 31, 1939 in Pensacola, Florida. He enlisted at seventeen years-old in the United States Marine Corps in 1957 prior to graduation from high school. He completed recruit training at MCB Parris Island, South Carolina. Following six months of training, including infantry training at MCB Camp Jejune, North Carolina, he was released into the Marine Corps Reserves and accompanied his parents to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Scott completed high school in Honolulu and later graduated from college in 1963 as a Commissioned second lieutenant in the Marines. After completion of basic infantry officer training at Quantico, Virginia, he transferred to NAS Pensacola to train as a pilot. Mr. Roberts reported to his first helicopter squadron at New River, North Carolina; part of Camp Jejune. Soon thereafter, he embarked aboard an aircraft carrier to assist in putting down a rebellion in the Dominican Republic. During the latter part of 1965, his squadron deployed to Futima Airbase, Okinawa prior to insertion into Vietnam. He arrived in DaNang during the huge buildup there. He later went to Quinoun where he supported the Republic of Korea, Tiger Division and elements of the hundred and first airborne division. Following his tour of fourteen months, he was transferred back to the Training Command in Pensacola as a flight instructor where he completed a three year tour before resigning his commission to go with the airlines as a pilot. Today Scott says he will never forget his service. Semper Fidelis means "Always Faithful."

title: Leo Solis, My Body Is My Evidence

description: [profile bio] Leo Solis was drafted into the Army in 1968 and during his time in the Army he was wounded several times, his platoon-mates dubbing him ""Tin Can"" because of it. He was temporarily paralyzed from his injuries, earning him a medical discharge from the Army in 1969. Within a year, and with lots of rehabilitation, he was walking again. Within that year, however, the Department of Veterans Affairs demanded that he return to get his disability (which had previously been put at 50%) reevaluated to make sure that he was not ""scamming the government."" This reevaluation reduced his benefits by 10%, making him feel wronged, and so he never wanted to be treated at the Veterans Affairs Facility ever again. Mr. Solis has worked his way up in the ranks of physical special effects and currently has his own special effects rental business. He has worked on such wide-ranging films as Pirates of the Carribbean and Inception. A link to his work is below: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0813105/ The nature of his work has made it difficult for him to function with the lasting effects of his injuries, namely the malformation of his leg, where his calf has almost completely atrophied. Mr. Solis lives in Granada Hills, California near his family and still works in the special effects business, creating explosions, rain, snow, hail, gunfire, you name it. He does not see his experience in Vietnam as one that drastically changed him emotionally, but physically it has forever left its impact.

title: Betsy Starman, "Nobody Came Home Unaffected" - Perspective from an Anti-War Protester

description: [profile bio] Betsy Starman was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1949. She spent most of her childhood and adolescence in Atlanta, where she experienced the transition to the "hippie" era as well as the Vietnam War. Betsy became addicted to drugs during this time period, and was involved in the anti-war movement.

Now that she has been clean for 28 years, Betsy works as an addiction treatment specialist. She opened her own business approximately 12 years ago to help establish treatment centers and provide addiction outreach on Skid Row. She has a daughter who is currently attending Pepperdine University. [profiler bio] Nathan Lee is a sophomore, born and raised in SoCal, studying Business and Communication Design at USC.

title: Tom Lynch, Falling Out Of Love With Your Country

description: [profile bio] Upon meeting Tom Lynch, one would never think that he had seen the most brutal bloodshed and destruction. He smiles as he offers us coffee cake in his cozy living room in Indio Valley. Adorned with Asian inspired art and memorabilia, his home is embodied by Asian influences, subtle reminders of the culture that he fell in love with and spent seven years living in after the war. Tom Lynch served in the Vietnam War in 1968 and 1969 as an American helicopter pilot. Originally, he joined for a reason that many reckless boys his age did: adventure. He laughs as he describes the more politically correct responses to the question of why one joins the war. But he admits that his involvement wasn't for God nor was it for a deep sense of patriotism. In hopes of finding something exciting, he dropped out of college as a sophomore and enlisted. It was as simple as that. But soon, Lynch would discover that his experience would be far more complex and dark than his expectations. Lynch was in the army for four years in which he completed a full one-year tour of Vietnam. During the war, Lynch's perspective of life, society, and himself altered deeply. Admittedly, he was never under the misapprehension that he was fighting to save the country; however, he delves into how youth inhibited one from understanding the immense power that was in a soldier's hands. After all, Lynch turned 21 in Vietnam, with a machine gun in hand. Lynch would drive through the bases at the end of the day and pick up the dead. He reminisces about the casualties and the sight of a child's burned face, an image that will forever haunt him. He reminisces about the comrades that went on to be successful and the ones that got shattered irreparably by the war. But that's another story. Lynch has a deep appreciation for war, but admits Vietnam is where he fell out of love with his country. After the war, Lynch lived outside of the country for ten years.

title: Bryan Shaul, Kent State Massacre: The Day the War Came Home

description: [profile bio] Bryan Shaul was born in Northampton, Massachusetts and grew up in a small farming community southwest of Mansfield, Ohio. He attended Northwestern University as a journalism major, but lost focus and dropped out in his second year. When he returned home, he supported himself by booking local rock bands with one of his high school friends. With the Vietnam War ramping up it was not a good time to be male, single and self-employed. Bryan decided to return to college joining many kindred spirits seeking to get a II-S draft deferment. With some experience running his own business, Bryan decided to major in accounting. Bryan chose Kent State University because, at that time, Kent had a respectable accounting program. This time Bryan would have to pay the bills for his education. He was able to convince the administration at Kent State administration that he could attend undergraduate school while functioning as a grad counselor in one of the dorms. Grad counselors received free room and board and a private suite. Bryan received his undergraduate degree a year after the shootings. Recently, Bryan retired and now divides his time between a cabin on the lake in Cascade, Idaho and a condo on Main Street in Huntington Beach.
