Raymond Moore served in Vietnam in 1969. She last saw her son when he was 19, before he shipped out. Casualties of war aren't found only on the battlefield. They face countless questions but don't find many answers. They realize they probably won't see their loved ones again but can't fully grieve.
Uncertainty is enemy and friend.
Once outgoing, Ms. Moore has closed up emotionally. She suffers anxiety-related health problems. In March, she was hospitalized for gallstones. Many nights are sleepless. Other nights, she wakes up at 4 in the morning, rolls over, sees a portrait of Greg and says hello to him.
