My brother Glenn passed away in 1973, 5 years after he returned from Viet Nam.

Before anyone knew what PTSD was, I believe he was one of the many who came home but never recovered from what happened in Viet Nam.  His family never really know what did happen.  All we knew was that he was not the same guy that he had been; outgoing and funny and fun to be around.   Glenn and I were really close after he graduated, because I was no longer the little sister he didn't want to see at school.  We wrote to each other while he was away and spent time together when he came home.  He was a great brother.  No one could reach that dark place where he would go at times, and there came the day when he took his life, so we will never know what haunted him.

It has been 40 years but every day I think of him and feel the empty place in my life that only he could fill. broken heart
