Don’t Wait 30 years to heal the wounds of war!

"I encourage every daughter and son of any veteran of the Vietnam war to think of him or herself as a storyteller. Look at your life with your father, even the mundane details, as a story that needs to be told. Write in a journal, blog or letter, your thoughts, memories, feelings (unresolved, angry, sad and happy). We must do this for ourselves, our families and our children (our own children and our country's children). We are the first generation of war children to have fathers who suffer(ed) from something officially called "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder", a whole new classification of war wound. As we tell our stories, we help ourselves find peace, which also helps the children who will grow up feeling that their father is different, deficient, or unavailable, without knowing why. Even after 40 years, emotional wounds can heal!" Quynn Elizabeth
