Forever pain

I have had quite a few people ask me how much of the book "Lost Survivor" reflect my personal experiences. I have directly or indirectly experienced the activities in the book. The patrols are based on my experiences in Vietnam and the emotions and thoughts when I returned home. In fact, every time I have a conversation with a veteran or a family member of a veteran about their experiences during the Vietnam war, it forces me to feel the terror and fear again. It also helps my internal healing process remove the brutal and violent actions I did to survive from the darkness of my soul. Like all survivors of war, I did what I had to do to survive and come home.
