corrinna,
I couldn't help to comment on the letter you wrote concerning you're father health and the love and respect you have for all who served...I'm not sure what you're situation is today..I do want you to know that there were many young soliders who returned from V.N. that would have appreiated help on their return back from V.N. They would have loved to been able to think and feel the way they did before they left country....It just didn't happen during that period. The goverment was asking the solider to fill out tons, and tons of red tape before anyone could receive help...It was just to much for half the men who returned to even consider asking for help.Today you can notify a local V.A. Officer and enroll you're dad's name into you're local county court house.(even 40 years later. If you're dad has any type of benifits or disability coming. The V.A. officer who is in charge of you're case will help and corporate with him 100%. These folks, at the county court house work with the Veterans. Contact you're local county court house to find out more. Good luck to you my dear.tom....Ask to speak with a V.A. Officer....The V.A. will not send you money if you have any coming....They have to know you have filed for it. They will pay you.
My father served in vietnam for 4 years ,i have always been very interested in hi time over there.he
does not like to talk about it due to the fact that he is not proud of what he did over there.He came home a different man thinking he would be damned for his action in unloading his weapon into the bush as his comanding officer told him to do only to find a very little vietnamise girl dead.She was picking flowers for her mother.(It was mothers day).I was not in his eyes going to be born.I am here to say i am proud of my father who named me after a stepin wolfe song corrinna corrinna.I however wish i could of met the man that went to fight for country,from the pictures and what my mother says he was wonderful.My father is now and has been since i can remember a drunk,not being able to end the sorrow or the memories.Again i want to say i am proud of my father,unlike the people who spit on our men as they were coming home or being called baby killers.This country makes me very said when i think of this and here my mother tell what happened.In order to help all who goes to war we must embrace them when they come back for we know that they do things that need to be done in war we should not spit and call names .Thank you for this opportunity to say how proud i am of my father victor kolk.
