Very unfortunate situation because they were actually a very supportive couple of each other. Marsha’s husband James is a Viet Nam vet who struggled with PTSD and other common ailments that a lot of post war vets have to deal with. It is hard to imagine that whatever situation led to this ended up with a loss of life. Rest in peace Marsha and I hope James will find some help.
America is still paying a horrible price for the mistakes of the unnecessary Vietnam War. When will we ever learn?
