ABSTRACT

In the first 10 years of my nursing practice with the Department of Veterans Affairs I was unsympathetic to Vietnam Veterans who were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. My reluctance to try to understand these veterans was not unique. This essay presents the narrative of my coming to understand and to appreciate the depth of trauma that many Vietnam Veterans experienced during their tour of duty and the lingering effects of guilt that they hold over their participation in brutality.
