Excerpt
A true story about how my 12-year-old self--- saw my dad suffer from gradually going blind after serving in the Army for 2-1/2 years and receiving an Honorable discharge because an orange gas burnt the retina of his eyes. My Dad IS a Hero. No one has the right to call him a loser. Especially a “president” of the USA who was a draft dodger. Short story. Simply told.
I read my wife’s book. I knew her dad well. He was a kind man. I agree with everything in her book. I didn’t know the struggles of her helping her dad. I didn’t know how much her dad went through. I’m Glad she wrote this book. We both lost friends we knew well in Vietnam and and the gulf war. Too many came back messed up in the head. The last page says why our people fight over there so their people don’t come here to fight wars. God bless America. Thank a veteran today.
I am proud to understand your concern about your father who succeeded regardless of disabling blindness that war brought him without compensation.
And I understand your anger at Pres. Trump dismissing soldiers wounded in battle or killed quickly or slowly and considering them losers for dying.
My uncle is resting comfortably in College Station after 20 years (1941-1961) as a major in the Air Force and some consulting after in Vietnam at 101. His oldest brother and my mother's brother fought in the infantry and airborne. Both divorced their wives with children and married again during the war. Both had PTSD. Became alcoholics. The first became a Chicago cabdriver with emphysema that resulted in his death early. The other left his business, his second wife and three children to disappear until he died early.

For FOUR YEARS he spoke like a mad man with NO empathy for anyone. He only thought of himself as becoming a ruler like a dictator. What he did to the LIVING is what I call genocide. THEN he disrespected the veterans who DIED for this country! He called veterans losers!
He is a coward and a draft dodger who faked his bone spurs to stay out of the service.
On the other hand... my DAD as well as many of your DADS and family members were all HEROS by enlisting and serving THIS country and not kissing up to dictators of other countries.
OUR country fights over there, so WE don't need to fight over here! We will remain a FREE country with no dictator in power over the people in the USA............ AMEN and PEACE
