Tom,
I don't know how many of us wrote similar letters,
but I'll bet it was quite a few. My cousin, Larry
Mart, served with the 25th Inf. Div. from Oct '68 to Oct '69. He went through a lot of stuff when he came home but survived it. He passed away almost 5 years ago, from a brain tumor the VA overlooked. His wife, Karen, has written a book, "A Time For Everything". It contains all the letters he sent her from Nam. It's really great, and you might like to get a copy. Let me know, and I'll find out where all they're available through. I think they cost about $20 and the money goes to some organization to help Nam Vets.
Thanks for sharing.
