Today I honor my beloved Uncle Gary.
Lt. Gary Marshall fought bravely for two tours in Viet Nam. He was the soldier that carried the satellite radio, so was a valued target, and was constantly dodging gunfire. That radio once saved his life and took the bullet. After he came home he suffered extreme PTSD for the rest of his life. Today we recognize better the lifelong trauma many of our great vets suffer. Back then, the care was lacking and insufficient. He was a hero, and I am forever grateful for his service.
