Tragic Memories (Dockery, Jim) Country, soldier's perspective. Disabled vet, PTSD, patriotic Ashville, North Carolina, USA Dreams at night about time in North Vietnam. I remember the medic saying I was lucky - stepped on land mine, no legs Sitting in wheelchair back in the US Put my Purple Heart and medals on the shelf. Lost my sweetheart Mary. Came across group of protesters (demonstrations) carrying signs etc. Lost my legs so that you could be free to march
