Veteran’s Story: I am a Vietnam vet 68/69. Returned 1969, started working. partying and doing lots of drugs together. My preference was pot and hallucinogenics. Mike were the same but liked to shoot speed and herion, which he picked up in a transportation unit in Nam. His drug use cost him his second wife and child Michelle.
