Book Description
Art Myers is a Viet Nam veteran with memories. In 2005 he and his wife Linda traveled to Viet Nam with a group led by a psychotherapist who works with veterans affected by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). From the Mekong Delta in the south, to Hanoi in the north, it was a life-changing journey. Art's story is not unusual. He was a sergeant in the Marine Corps in 1968, a radio repairman stationed at Da Nang during the Tet offensive. He saw only one day of combat, but that day affected every aspect of his life for 35 years. Many veterans suffer from their memories of their time at war. They may bury them, or deny them, or run from them, or act out in other areas of their lives. Alcoholism, drug addiction and suicide rates are higher than average, as are failed relationships and chronic unemployment. Art decided to return to Viet Nam, to overlay the memories of the young man during a terrible time with those of a man in late middle age. It was a good choice for him - and for his family. About the book Art says, "I hope that talking about this journey of healing - and how it has changed me will help other veterans and their families. The idea of helping even one other veteran stop the nightmares and gain some peace made my story worth sharing."

A Veteran's Cry-The Journey Home
Author: Michael E. JacobsonPublisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 145209540X

Pages : 54
Book Description
A Veterans Cry was written for veterans. It was also written for people who support veterans be they friends, family or complete strangers. It was written to those of you who chose to protest- in what we have done, what we do now and what we will chose to do in the future. This book was written to give a little insight into a world that is sometimes filled with the unspeakable. It is a world, which is very often misunderstood. Many vets have trouble relating to non-vets and the reverse is often just as true. As in many professions of public service people sometimes have trouble understanding the full scope of our different jobs and therefore tend to forget that we too, are just people. It was best quoted to me one day by a friend, We were common people sent to do uncommon things. A Veterans Cry was also written as a continuing healing journey for me. In the seventeen years of my military service only a few were spent in combat situations. It was not until several years after my separation from the military that my memories came forward and asked to be healed from those things I thought were long buried; and therefore gone. These few pages were not necessarily things that happened to me. Most of them have come from talking and listening to fellow veterans. Some I knew personally, many I did not.

Dying In The Waiting Room

Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
I am dying. I am one of thousands that received a vaccination that has been eating away my insides for years without my being aware. All the while, I have a card but no care to cure me of all my illnesses. I am hopeful that one of the readers will be able to help save me and the thousands of my brothers and sisters who are sick and dying to find cures. I attempted to meet with people who can affect change but have been ignored, I am trying to provide fixes for the VA's broken systems and help with stopping veteran suicides and I do not want these fixes to die with me. There are thousands of veterans that have already died, thousands of families that have been torn apart by illness, stress and death not just from my anthrax shot but from other military experiments gone wrong and how the government healthcare system is so broken that we are dying while we wait for service. Please walk with me on a small part of my journey through the VA healthcare, small moments of my military adventure and if you are of mind help other veterans who have been injured and denied research for our cure and provide hope of a better future.
