I was glad to give my time for my country and to help make our country become more safe for other peoples families and that is why other service people men and women did the same thing. Me and my friends from high school signed up right after graduating and went in August 28, 1966 and we all signed up for Vietnam after going through basic training in Chicago for Navy Sea-Bees and then to Treasure Island San Francisco, Calif. for fire fighting training and then to Adak, Alaska Jan. 1967 for 1 year then to Camh Ranh Bay Vietnam for our 3 tours duty. We would do it all over again and yes we saw some terrible things over there and so glad that Congressman Chris Gibson from Troy NY helped me get my well deserved Veterans benefits so that I could go to Veteran Hospital to get help what I saw over there because of PTSD and over the years finally don't have to have those horrible dreams of what I saw nights and sleep normal. I am helping my friends that were with me over there get help with their paperwork through people in NJ &amp; Pa. Wish that more service men and women could get help to get rid of that through the Veterans but there is a lot of red tape involved and you have to have right person do the paperwork other wise they take advantage of you and keep you from getting your benefits.
