Theda Parks My husband took those experiences to the grave.
Ron Alexander So sad, and I know some now that just cannot get those experiences out of their mind, not matter how hard they try.
Theda Parks He couldn't bring himself to see the wall with the names. Said he didn't need to see them because he'd never forget them
Ron Alexander I have met some of my Brother's Helicopter pilot buddies now and they have PTSD over his death. The day after his 22nd birthday party, the commanding officer sent him out on combat mission with only two weeks left. His Hooch mate said he intuited his death, and did not want to go out, as "he had been shot up several times already. He tried to get some of the younger ones to take his place. They turned him down, and their guilt adds to their PTSD. One became a chaplain to get over it, but still has it, and visits my Brother's grave in South Carolina several hours from his home in N. C
