“Now, fifty years later, the memories are still just as vivid. Certain images trigger smells, and certain smells trigger images. In five decades, that hasn’t faded. I was home a long time before I was actually home. Vietnam has never ceased to haunt me every day, to await me every night. I still sometimes wonder if I ever truly came home.”
― John Stillman, Jumping from Helicopters: A Vietnam Memoir
