How do you feel talking about your time overseas? My dad served 3 tours in Vietnam, 2 in the Army as a sniper and one later as a navigator in the Navy flying F-4 Phantoms. He seems to pretty level headed, he came back, was a teacher, a principal, and superintendent of a fairly large school district, but he NEVER talks about his time in Vietnam. He won't accept VA treatment or benefits even though his hearing is terrible, he doesn't want recognition on veteran's day or really any recognition at all. Do you have any experience with this, or have you heard of this? I don't want to ever push the issue, but I wish he would at least talk with other veterans.
