My brother did not die in the war, but he did loose his life in the service of his country. When he came home from his years of service, he could not cope with all the things he was ordered to do.
He did live on the street, and in boxes - too proud to ask us for a helping hand. Or maybe just too tired of trying to cope. Life after Vietnam was hard for him.
Yes, it is a shame that our citizens that defend our country are not cared for more when "the job is done".
