DOCUMENTARY FILM – VIETNAM WARThe Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association Foundation is proud to present a 47-minute documentary film entitled “Truths and Myths About the Vietnam War” with introduction by actor Sam Elliott. The purpose of the film is to honor those who served in the Vietnam War by providing factual information to
address the decades of misinformation that have presented a skewed historical perspective of the war – a very important and long overdue film that presents the information and lessons learned that most Vietnam War veterans want reported about the war. Some of the truth we now know comes from Vietcong and North Vietnamese archives and other disclosures made available over the last 50 years since the war ended.

Sometimes trouble sleeping is a result of a traumatic experience or stressful event in your military or civilian life. At other times, negative thoughts or worry make it hard to fall asleep or cause you to wake up easily during the night. Trouble falling asleep may be due to anxiety about having nightmares, or from thoughts focused on life challenges. Chronic pain, stomach problems, alcohol or drug use, or other physical ailments also might disturb your sleep. Over time, inadequate sleep can lead to chronic sleep deprivation, which will significantly affect your health, performance, and safety.

I maneuvered through the chairs and asked him if I could put the pin on his shirt. He looked a little
confused, like he didn’t realize what was happening. I told him it was my honor to place the pin on his shirt and welcome him home. At that point I saw a little glimmer of pride in his eyes. After the ceremony everyone walked across the roadway where lunch was being served. As I walked up to the end of the line, I noticed an emblem on the jacket of a man waiting in line. It was of the 173 rd Airborne Brigade. The same brigade my son Devin had been with when he parachuted into Iraq on March 20, 2003. Of course, I wanted to speak with this man because of my interest in his patch. I touched the man on the arm to get his attention. When he turned around, I realized it was the same Veteran I had pinned just minutes before. A chill went up my spine and goosebumps developed on the back of my neck. God put this veteran in my path that day. We visited for quite some time, and I learned so much more about the history of the “Sky Soldiers”. Who would have thought I would receive a blessing by going to a Vietnam Ceremony? Karen Alexander American Gold Star Mother – Albuquerque Chapter |
