You can always tell the difference from a man who has to a man who has
never seen the death and destruction of war just by looking in their
eyes. I saw that changed in Scott when he came home, he was altogether
different. When I looked in his eyes and that of his comrades, you
could see in their eyes they had seen some pretty horrible things
there. Eyes are the windows to ones soul.
What amazes me is how each veteran handles their memories. Unlike
Logan, my dad won't talk about the war (did 2 tours on 'Nam) except the
funny things that happened....like the elephants that walked through his
"perfect land mine field" he spent 3 days laying out....very funny the
way he tells it. Then there are others who join VFW halls and the such.
