I looked up all my friends on the wall and my men who died over there. It's not the same as doing it for the first time. Vietnam has had a great impact on me. Since then, anything that has ever happened to me, I can look back and say that it can't ever get as bad as it was while I was in Vietnam. It was probably the most significant thing that happened to me in my life.
Most people feel that way about Vietnam.
After everything, I still feel a little empty because of all the people who died. They all died, and I just have to wonder, what was the purpose of the thousands of deaths.
