"It was a war that nobody wanted."

Story

"The Vietnam War was very different. When my brother, Wayne, was drafted, I became a war protester, joining student sit ins and running from the police who tried to break up our demonstrations. Wayne served two years in Thailand as a medic. I met my husband, Bob, at Georgia State University, and he was in the Army Reserves. He served for six years. The Vietnam War was the war nobody wanted. Even the memorial is below ground."
