My father in law needed a "job" when he served in Vietnam 1969. There is no amount of money that could justify his sacrifice back then. He was among the blessed to be able to come home & be alive... but my mom has to wake him up from a reoccurring nightmare he has about Vietnamese children over & over... he says things like "No wait, the kids... there are kids in there still" etc.... we can't ask him... but I know that he regrets something horrible he saw. He has never spoken to us about the war, but he did keep his army boots he wore & showed them to me... he had a silver peace sign/buckle on one of the boots woven into the boot-laces.... wore it every day while there.
