Young individuals went to war as kids and lost their youthful dreams, and some their lives, for a cause of freedom and honor. Those who returned came back as men with the horrors of war instilled in every fiber of their being and were never given the respect and honor they so dearly deserved from the public or the United States government. God will one day judge these actions, and until then He will shine on the lives of each veteran now and forevermore because He was with each of them in Vietnam. He is the only one who truly knows what they went through and are living with every day.
