Good Morning All, I was doing a bit of a search for someone and came across this website. I hope this is allowed as I think it could be of help to a lot of our returning soldiers. I wish the guys who returned from Vietnam (in my day) had the net as a resources for finding help.

	Thank you for the website information. Unfortunately, many of the returning soldiers do not even realize they have a problem with something such as Post Traumatic Stress, etc. A problem cannot be dealt with unless the person is aware of its existence and really wants the help in dealing with it. It is just like problems with alcohol or substance abuse. Even if the person with the addiction problem realizes there IS a problem, they are the ones that have to make a choice to do something about it. No one can make that choice for them. It is sad, but that's the way it is. 'Just a thought.

	I think it is only apparent to those of us who actually served in Vietnam not to mention the wars in Cambodia and Laos where I served also, what you mean by having links for support upon your return. Frankly what the VA offered really sucked....
