Art Myers is a Viet Nam veteran with memories. In 2005 he and
his wife Linda traveled to Viet Nam with a group led by a
psychotherapist who works with veterans affected by Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD). From the Mekong Delta in the south, to
Hanoi in the north, it was a life-changing journey.
Art's story is not unusual. He was a sergeant in the Marine
Corps in 1968, a radio repairman stationed at Da Nang during the
Tet offensive. He saw only one day of combat, but that day affected
every aspect of his life for 35 years.
Many veterans suffer from their memories of their time at war.
They may bury them, or deny them, or run from them, or act out in
other areas of their lives. Alcoholism, drug addiction and suicide
rates are higher than average, as are failed relationships and
chronic unemployment.
Art decided to return to Viet Nam, to overlay the memories of
the young man during a terrible time with those of a man in late
middle age. It was a good choice for him - and for his family.
About the book Art says, "I hope that talking about this journey
of healing - and how it has changed me will help other veterans and
their families. The idea of helping even one other veteran stop the
nightmares and gain some peace made my story worth sharing."
