The Nevilles: Both Against the War
The Nevilles had very different experiences during the Vietnam War. Debbie protested the war while Pat served in Vietnam. After Pat returned from the war, he married Debbie.
I protested the war and was against it, you served and you were against it, and life went on for a number of years.
Unfortunately, Pat suffers heavily from the effects of Agent Orange.
