This is really sobering. Click on the link and find the city you went to high school and look at the names.

Click on the name and it will give details of the death.
Vietnam Wall
First click on a state. When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear. Then click on their names. It should show you a picture of the person, or at least their bio and medals.This really is an amazing web site. Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it.
I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country.
The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war with the names, bio's and other information on our lost heroes.
Those who remember that time frame, or perhaps lost friends or family can look them up on this site.
Pass the link on to others, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed.

We all know what PTSD is or have it.  BEWARE!!!  VA is trying to rename the disorder as injury ie PTSI.  Post Tramatic Stress Injury.

Injury can be considered as healed or healing by many different means.  It also means that the PTSD can be called PTSI moving it from a mental health diagnosis to a medical diagnosis.  By moving the diagnosis to medical, your case can be reclassified and your percentage of disability lowered ie 100% to 70% then to 0% because you are healed.

Go at least monthly for your PTSD meetings or at the worst, quarterly and get it documented.  PTSI is like putting PTSD in the closet and calling you healed until someone opens the closet.  Now, try and get back from the VA what you had originally.  Ain't going to happen!!!

Warn our Brothers and Sisters.  This may be your first and last time you hear this mentioned.  The VA is quietly doing this to all of us.
