| On October 19, 1989, my brother Eddie L. Cook committed suicide. This was written by John P. Rowan of the Vietnam Veterans of America and I just wanted to share it with you. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL In Washington D.C. On a low grassy hill carved on a long sloping wall made of shiny black granite are the names of 59,000 plus men and eight women. This is the official list of the dead from the Vietnam War. But, there is another side of the wall also containing a list of an equal number of names steadily growing of those men and women who are also victims of the Vietnam War. They died away from the field of battle so they are not as noticeable. Sometimes their deaths were self inflicted, ending years of inner torment. Sometimes they succumbed to various diseases, caused by origins, known, but not admitted. Sometimes death was at the end of a needle, trying to ease the pain, they were also KIAs. Victims of the war fought on the battlefields of the VA hospitals and the halls of Congress. And the list will continue to grow on the other side of the wall until those of us still living can win the war of the peace. |
