Tell me a story.

I like to go up to the local Legion and have a beer with the old Veterans and listen to the stories they have to tell. I know that there are a few Vets here and I want to hear what you have to say. Happy, sad, good, bad - I'm listening if you are telling.

I might be wrong but I have always heard the true vets that where really in the the thick #@% don't talk about it at least that's what my Uncle and Grandfather say.
Please I don't mean to affend anybody I'm just going by what I heard.

I know my Dad saw some nasty stuff in Korea. Never talks about it though.

That's been my experience as well.

My grandfather is just now beginning to talk about some things from WWII. (south Pacific) When he talks, I listen.

I know my uncle has some issues after coming back from Vietnam like nightmares, waking up in a cold sweet.
I still think he has issues to this day but he wont talk about it.
Every time I ask him about it He just looks at me with a dead stear and says bad things bad things.
He did tell me onething and that is that he hopes God can forgive him for what he did while he was over there.

I watched Gran Tornio and that kinda of reminds me of my uncle but maybe not that extreme.
