My Life Storys

Military Vets

***THIS IS TRUE***

I did this i talked to a vet i have talked to many vets, all of them with a unique story to tell. talk to one and learn something like i did...

I was on a bus one day, and sitting next to me was a military vet. I was just about to get up and greet him, and ask about what happened to his leg and his arm when someone beat me to it. For sake of this story that guys name is Joe.

so Joe asked the vet what his "story" was, l and the vet promptly responded.

"My story about what, what happened to me, or what happened to my team?"asked the vet.

Joe-"Well i guess ill here both, i have the time."

the vet smiled and said "alright,"

"so lets start with me, I was on the fronts of the Vietnam war. I was in a company of 10, all big and buff. I was a sharp shooter, I had the best aim I had over 200 confirmed kills. Then the tanks started rolling in, I was hit by a artillery shot. I had my left and right let covered in shrapnel, sadly I had to have my left leg amputated. and now this is how you need me, with a artificial leg and a service dog."

Joe asked "do you know what the size of the shell was?"

The vet said " No I don't, all I know is it was big enough to hurt me and kill most of my company."

At that time I got up to talk to him and then he started talking again.

"Now my friends on the other hand weren't so lucky, 4 of them got shot. 1 of them died from an air strike, and my other friend died from a land mine."

A that time I got up and sat next to this vet and asked him where he was going.

The vet told me he was going to place some flowers and his friends graves. The vet started crying and I sat there and followed him and placed flowers with him.

I told him that things will get better, people you know will always be there to help you.
