past-life orientated)? Although I've always known about the Vietnam war, it wasn't until I was 13 and decided to do my powerpoint project on the Vietnam war that I started to really notice significant feelings I had to the war and was incredibly drawn to it.
I stumbled upon a particular soldier in the war and was incredibly drawn to his photo and story, to the point that 7-8 years later I still remember his name, photo, story and have even looked him up on the wall in DC.
There was just this eerie feeling I had when I found his profile. What was really weird was that I had tried 3 times to find his name on the wall within a span of four years, my third and successful attempt, when I reached to the panel his name was on and looked up to begin counting lines to find his name, his name was literally glowing from all the other names on the panel...his name stood out like a sore thumb.
-I begin sobbing uncontrolloby whenver I read, or listen to songs that are about a woman who lost her boyfriend/lover/husband in a war.
The year before I stumbled upon the soldier , or did my Vietnam project, I saw the film the "Ya-Ya Sisterhood" in a theatre. There was a scene where Ashley Judd's character was being criticized by her new husband for still being in love with her dead lover who died in WWII...I was sobbing so uncontrollably my mother and sister were asking me what was wrong.
-When I first visited the Wall when I was 14, I fell to my knees and started bawling. No one in my family was killed in Vietnam, yet when I heard my father who was born in 1954 say (afterwards) that if He went to the wall, he'd probably start crying due to knowing people who died and lived through it, I instantly knew exactly how he felt/why he'd feel that way...it was almost as if I had lived through it too.
-People thought it was weird that although 1/2 of my family died in The Holocaust, it's almost as if no one died...yet no one in my family died in Vietnam yet it feels as if someone did die.
I just want answers as to why I'm so fascinated/drawn have this intense emotional connection towards a subject that ended almost 15 years before I was born.
