[303rd-Talk] After the War

[Bob Van Pelt]

I am very interested in how you vets felt after the war when you got back home.  Were you haunted by the memories of what you saw and did or did you just resume your lives and got on with it?

I know you guys aren't much on talking about feeleings and emotions, but what did the war do to you?  I mean, it must have done something to you whether you were part of the ground personnel or with an air crew.

>From what I have read over the years, there appears to be two kinds of veterans - those who came home and had no trouble adapting to the post war world, and then those who couldn't forget and got sucked into what we now call post tramatic stress.

I am very curious to hear what you went through after the war if you don't mind talking about it.  Thanks!
