Preface by Dr. Richard Kelly, MD.This is a story about stories … a prelude to the deeply felt expressions in the pages that follow.Writing programs for veterans have existed since the Second World War to help veterans make sense of their military experience and honor the voices inside needing to be heard. Quoting Ron Capps of the Veterans Writing Project, “Not everyone is a story teller, but everyone has a story to tell.” He reminds us that for veterans with PTSD,“either you control the memory or the memory controls you.”I came to the VA as a Primary Care physician in 2011 knowing little about military culture, and nothing of the experience of combat. It didn’t take long to realize how many of the Vietnam veterans in my care were still carrying wounds from their time in country. It was hard to accept they were but a fraction of the estimated 250,000 Vietnam veterans living with PTSD five decades later.
