Tears of a Warrior: A Family’s Story of Combat and Living with PTSD has been our life’s journey for the past thirty-some years. We
began writing our story several years back simply as a legacy for our two sons. But, with the Iraq war and soldiers returning from
combat, we realized that there are many others who have lived or are now living our experience as well. Some certainly have an even
more traumatic story than ours.
Tony Seahorn is a Vietnam Vet and was a guest at our Colorado reunion. At the reunion he
introduced us to this very well written book that I recomend to all vets and family members of vets. From it they will understand
more.
We have many of great items in our PX. Check them out! Rick would love to hear from you. Form for requesting

A year in the Vietnam War for some Troopers Thrust into "Army Job 1" by the so-called fortunes of war. They became exactly what they
were trained to be in 'basic' as the D.I's said. A rifleman First when the chips were down, they shared the perimeter bunkers at base
camps, and FSB's against the attempts of the enemy to 'over-run' and wipe out American Troops.
