Veteran’s Story: Going through a turbulent time and like most Vietnam vets trying to find purpose in life and living with guilt of being alive when others died. Separated from family and being punished by those around him for his actions and deeds that may or may not have occurred. A lost sole who joined those who had been his friends and went before him. Laid to rest in Lansing, Mich. away from his beloved Oklahoma.
