Jim Markson is featured today on MAKE A CONNECTION.

Jim is my ex-husband. We were married for 14 years and have 2 beautiful children. I wish that we had known that he was suffering from PTSD back then when divorcing in 1987. Who knows how differently everything may have turned out…

After his experience during the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, Jim, an Air Force Veteran, mourned the loss of two close military buddies. Thirty-nine years passed before he finally reached out and found relief through counseling. Watch his interview on the link provided below.

Vietnam & Beyond, Veteran Reflections is a collaborative work by Jim and I publishing his collection of wartime letters written home from March 1967 to March 1968. Jim carried sadness and boxed-up memories from Vietnam. Perhaps, if it were not for the general divided and oppositional public opinion of the Vietnam War at that time, the soldiers returning home might have been able to open up and begin the healing process. Instead, those soldiers returning from Vietnam were afraid to tell their story. These fears bound each soldier to the other.

We are very proud to embrace our men and women veterans and include stories of over thirty veterans of all wars, including WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan to show the similarities of war and the soldier from one generation to another.
