Vietnam
VIET-FUCKING-NAM!!!!! I watched some vietnam movies. No, not platoon, not Full metal Jacket, and not even that part of forest gump. The actual videos from vietnam. Honestly, it makes me so thankful for what i have and where i am in life. People watch them and think blah blah blah, it was a bullshit war, and it was but what really makes me thankful is to see those guys suffering so much, yet they keep going for a cause they dont believe in because they made a commitment. Its incredible and it makes you want to live your life better. I know this is a lame post but it really makes me want to go home, hug my uncle, and just say thanks. I talked to an old friend the other day, a guy i havent talked to in over 2 years and he asked what i was up to and i told him and the first words he said were hey man, i dont believe in this war and i think it should end but i really want to thank you for everything. I was speechless, i didnt even know what to say. That and several other factors have been a good thing for me in this last month. I have taken in new friends, reached back to old friends, and both sides welcomed me into their lives and didnt take me for granted. Thanks everyone. You all have helped me more than you could ever know. Thank you.
