I am preparing my sharing with a group at my local church of Veterans. I wanted your comments on areas I should address. Pastor Stacy wants me to share my testimony and book (Angel of Death/Angel of Light: A Changed Life After Vietnam). Here are some notes I made:
Point 1 – Continuing our “Fight”
As Veterans, we have walked through our own “Valleys of death” in some way. Now that we are here home again, I want to encourage every veteran to continue the “fight” to live beyond all they have experienced or seen.
We can at times be called “survivors”, yet I want to live this life fuller and deeper than I had, and now I want to share my “Dedication” page. This highlights the choice to continue living towards a fuller life.
My progression and my goal is not to let what was given to me in Vietnam be forgotten nor wasted by my lack of effort or decisions. It was my new starting place, another opportunity I had to begin again to live this life. One I never want to waste away.
Point 2 – Admittance
I believe we can never begin the “healing process until we see where and who we are. Like “AA”, it is the point where I would say: “Hi, I am Gary Tate and I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran with PTSD symptoms”. Then begin to understand and take correction steps I need to take.
Feel free to contact me on your thoughts or suggestions.
