## Resource

"Burn Your Uniforms & Forget You Were in the military." That's what Jim was told when he came home. Years later, the "welcome home" signs made him feel anything but welcome. Mama was home when he left. Jim did what many of our dads did and joined up before he could be drafted only to receive his draft notice a few weeks after he went in. Arriving just after the infamous Tet Offensive, Jim shouldered responsibilities most 19 year olds don't have to think about. Jim has the distinction of being the only Vietnam Veteran on this season.
