Talking about our experiences is a proven form of PTS therapy and the more veterans are given the opportunity to share, and the more people are willing to listen, the better this world will be.

Captain Messinger served two tours in Vietnam flying Huey helicopters, gunships, and the Skycrane. Captain Messinger is a witness to history... literally. His gunship was in a certain area of the country at a certain time that led to him sitting in front of the Peers Commission on the My Lai Massacre. The fact that he did not see anything did not stop him from being, as he described it, interrogated in the bowels of Pentagon.
After retiring from the Army, Captain Messinger became a college professor and serves as the treasurer for the National Vietnam War Museum in Texas. We talk with Captain Messinger about his time in the Army, finding his way in the world after separating from the military, starting a museum from scratch, and the importance of getting other veterans talking about their experiences. We hope you enjoy today's episode.
