Veteran’s Story: My father may not have died in Vietnam. But, he never really came back. He lived his life after Vietnam homeless and drug addicted. He couldn’t handle life and it wasn’t his fault. He was a wonderful loving man that just could not survive after the war. My Father, he was so beautiful.
