I am not sure if i shared this before but even if I did, its worth another listen to. Vietnam's a Long Way From Home, always rang true for this Vietnam veteran. The lady has great voice too.
Lyrics:
Fifty years ago, In a place called Vietnam
A nineteen year old boy had to learn to be a man
He left the life he knew, His friends and family
Served his country well as a United States marine
In 1966 so far away from home, In a place that felt like hell
Scared and all alone
No place to lay his head
Not a pillow or a bed
The thought of seeing his mom were the dreams of going home
Vietnam is a long way from Luisiana
Fighting a war so hard to understand
And though the war was hell and he has scars that tell
He lives his life the best way that he can
At night he still has dreams of the hell that. He has seen
The demons just won’t leave him alone
He goes back in time
To the shadow of his mind still fighting the war a long long way from home
Vietnam is a long way from Luisiana
Fighting a war so hard to understand
And though the war was hell and he has scars that tell
He lives his life the best way that he can

SGT Steve McFarland Brother, a truer statement has not been made, and that's the hardest part to come to terms with, the thoughts, and memories.

SFC William Farrell I'm with you brother. It's a twisted process where part of you is happy that it's behind you, and the misery of being away from those that never came home.
