My brother, Steven Gatrell enlisted at 17 and went to Viet Nam as a rifleman (366 TACTICAL FIGHTER WING, MARINES, DaNang & Tet offensive 1966-68). I was born while he was there. He just passed away, and I'm only now finding out about his life...he never spoke about Nam, I didn't have a clue of the impact it had on him until his VA counselor spoke at his funeral this month. I learned of a close friend he had named Steven Keith Brandenberg from Galveston IN. who died there. If anyone knows anything about my brother, Steven Gatrell, or his friend Corporal Steven Keith Brandenberg please email me at: [email protected].
I'm sorry I've been so slow to realize...for my brother and for all of you. I had no idea, and I know I still don't. He had PTSD and waited too long to get help, please learn from his mistake! I finally understand why he was hard to get close to, but its too late for us.
God bless you all. I have a whole new respect for the freedom I've always taken for granted. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
