"Just Last Night" open letter: Courtesy - Robert Clark
This design is my attempt to help friends & family of combat vets, to understand the emotional baggage, not just the ones from Viet Nam; but ALL combat vets. There is an 'sameness' in the mindset of combat survivors.
It takes a tremendous inner strength to bring up the 'inner demons', and Mr Clark, did a wonderful, articulate job of expressing "Book of Memory" issues.
Thanks for taking time to read, perhaps trying to understand, and be safe out there.

I just wanted to put 3 exclamation marks that would have summed up my response - Rosity said I must leave a more detailed response! A more detailed response? more that 3 exclamations?!

Wonderful work. Dunno what else to say. Brought up many memories. It's not only this way with Nam. It's the same with almost every f... war. Thanks for creating this piece. :)

Really can't find the words to express my heartfelt sympathy for those of you who served in that other world. Sympathy is probably not the emotional response that many Vietnam Vets are hoping for...just understanding and compassion. Understanding and compassion is a rarity in this fucked up world...only those who were there could possibly give those comforting emotions to other fellow brothers in arms who served in that hell hole of a conflict. Sazz...I hope you may someday be able to forgive those who trashed the Vietnam Vets on their return to the "world". I was just a few years to young to be drafted into that mess...May your days be filled with good cheer and good health!..Peace to you, Friend.

I thank you for your service to all of us. I wish I could lessen your pain by sharing it, like two "buddies" carrying a load. But I know that it don't get lighter like that. I can only hope that while carrying it, you can do it with pride,and know that we all share it in spirit.

Hey Sazz, I can find the words. Your psychologist was right, what is done is done. If I were in the business of death, I would give it and prevent it with a fight. But when life is lost it is gained in another place, another adventure, better than the last. I think I would have risked it. Made them very close friends and yes, mourned their transition from this world, to the next. It is our personal perspective on life....and death, that makes it hard to embrace it and at the same time, let it go elsewhere too. Sorry if that offends you, since I haven't been where you and your brothers have been; How could I know the experience? I am sure of one single thing; Life is energy and energy doesn't vanish, it only changes form. That is just science and has nothing to do with a religious viewpoint._____Excellent and moving words, Sazz.

Thank you for sharing those thoughts. It is just that way with me too. except, for me there is no wife and kids. Just me and my half wolf. I finally found solace here 15 years ago in the arizona wilderness, where I can be just me. Because I was there just last night.
