Sacrifices

Vietnam veterans made immense sacrifices during the war, enduring both physical disabilities and mental health challenges as a result of their service. Many soldiers returned home with life-altering injuries, such as lost limbs or chronic pain, that they had to cope with for the rest of their lives. Additionally, the trauma of combat left countless veterans struggling with conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and depression. These brave individuals sacrificed their well-being in the service of their country, facing challenges that continued long after the war had ended.
