CELEBRATING A WEDDING AT HOME
When you were in Vietnam your family home life continued without you. Combat life in Vietnam was so different and changed you that you no longer could relate to your family and friends back in the states. In 1966 I was a sophomore in collage and faced the issue of being drafted when I graduated or now. I chose the now, and five months later I was in Vietnam. The next 12 months impacted the remainder of my life.
