My father, LeRoy Olsen, was part of the US Marine Corp 1st Battalion in Nam. I have alot to share with everyone here growing up in a household where PTSD, Bipolar, and ALCOHOL played much of a part in our upbringing...The nightmares, the helicopters that scared him....and the stories my father was able to share until his death last year - massive heart attack....his anniversary of his death is coming up on May 2, and I MISS HIM TA DEATH!
I also began writing a book on him and other vets if anyone is interested in having their stories told publicly.
Please share! I have my father's story if any wants ta hear.....
I'm also an artist if any would like a realistic drawing of something special in their lives..
I also started a new tribe of Children of Vietnam Vets/War Veterans that might be of use to anyone...

Thu, December 21, 2006 - 7:51 AMHi Michelle,
I am sorry to hear that you lost your father recently. There is never anyway to make the loss go away. It just hurts less as time goes by.
I was a doorgunner on helicopters in Vietnam in an area known as Cantho.
Thank you for honoring your fathers service.
Jack
