John Fisher, on returning to Vietnam to help in his recovery from PTSD

Dr. John Wesley Fisher was drafted into the Army and served in the Vietnam War. He was on the front lines almost from day one, and suffered the loss of several close brothers in arms. Also, besides, the grief, he returned with survivors guilt and terrible remorse of the deaths of many "enemies" that he felt responsible for. Upon returning to Vietnam, though initially very scary, much to his relief, John found that the Vietnamese do not have PTSD and much to his amazement did not hold resentment toward Americans due to their spiritual/cultural beliefs such as living in the present and believing there are no accidents. HIs former "enemies" befriended him and other veterans who return.
Dr. Fisher now takes Veterans (and interested civilians) back with him on annual ten day goodwill trips. Part of the trips are helping out in clinics that serve agent Orange victims. He has written several well-received books that can be found on Amazon: NOT WELCOMED HOME, WAR AFTER THE WAR, ANGELS IN VIETNAM and THE FLIP OF THE COIN.

Ron Alexander Carrie Hanks:This describes my husband and his comrades, being negroes that suffered prejudice in Vietnam from his peers and superiors and not being welcomed home with PTSD. An unequipped VA that is much improved now, I know this because of the service my daughter receives here in Omaha. Out of the graduating line to a war that had no meaning to them they went, and the no help from the VA on their return. We the wives of those men still protest their treatment especially that they are "still" unprepared to treat the mental woes of returning Vets. Thank you my friend.
Ron Alexander: Dr Dr. Fisher was in an almost all black training group, and he understands the plight of the minority draftees in Vietnam, as many of his comrades on the front line were minorities.
