Nam Nights Of PTSD new video

Ever wonder why they can't sleep at night? Ever wonder why they are sitting in a chair but seem to be a long, long way from home? They remember it all. It comes back to them like ghosts flooding into the house. We've seen it with Vietnam Vets for over 30 years and we are still seeing it. While the media in general are doing a good job covering the Iraq and Afghanistan Vets, the Vietnam veterans are watching out for them as well. The problem is, no one is watching out for them except other Vietnam Vets.
Billy Joel came out with Goodnight Saigon and it had the sound of helicopters along with what they went through. One of the things they have a hard time with is the sound of helicopters. they have a hard time with fireworks and traffic jams. With being in a crowded room or having their back to the open. To this day, my husband wants a booth when we go out to dinner, among a long, long list of other things.
The DOORS came out with People Are Strange. You can't get any stranger than combat veterans. I don't mean that in a bad way, but they are strange to us. They are also very rare. They do not even make up ten percent of the population of this nation with over 300 million people but combat veterans are even more rare. It's time for us to understand them, what they are dealing with and why so many have wounds we cannot see. You can see them, but you have to really pay attention.

Watch it at the bottom of this blog along with the rest of them. You never know what you can learn.
