I am Van's sister writing in memory of him. He was A Co 4/31 (Army) stationed at ZZ West 69-70. Van died on 09/11/2007 of bladder cancer. He said he shouldn't have drank the water over there, but he was thirsty and they had been promised fresh water everyday, but never got it. So, the water and never being treated for PTSD cost him his life.... not to mention the wonderful treatment by the VA Hospitals. Example: They took his bladder out on Dec 20, 2006 in Iowa City, Iowa, and called him back a month or two later and told him to come back so they could check his bladder. He told them to look in the container they put it in when they did that 12 hours of surgery. Hope the rest of you are well and haven't had to suffer in your heart the way my brother has all these years since Viet Nam and then had to even prove you were there. For those of you that remember my brother, I hope you remember what a jokster he was and that huge smile and laugh.
