The Shadow of the Rainbow

After Visiting The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall With My Wife In 1991 And Being A Student Of History I Continue My Interest Online. I Was Surprised To Find That Among The Fifty-Eight-Thousand-Plus Vietnam Veterans Memorialized On That Cold Black Granite Wall In Washington D.C. Somehow Twelve Names Of People Who Were Still Alive Were Among Them. One Day Shortly After I Retired My Wife Ann Like Many Wives Do Became Annoyed At My Being Under Her Feet All Day And Suggested Quite Emphatically That I Go Find A Hobby. So I Did Hence The Shadow Of The Rainbow. Based Loosely On Historical Facts This Is A Fictitious Story Of A Thirteenth Persons Name On The Wall That Woke Up From Coma One Day To Find He Still Had A Chance To Follow Those Dreams That Had Been So Violently Snatched From All The Others.
