My Vietnam HELL | Father Phil Salois Silver Star |#242

Father Phil Salois, served in Vietnam with the 199th Light Infantry Brigade, 7th Infantry Regiment. In his first months there, he saw his fair share of combat. His unit spent a lot of time trudging along the rice paddies, looking for an elusive enemy who chose when and where to encounter his American adversaries. After a fraught time in the country and earning the US Silver Star, Father Phil came back to the different United States. With his perennial faith unshaken, Phil became a Catholic priest and a spiritual advisor to his fellow veterans. Suffering from PTSD himself, he's worked tirelessly to help not only Vietnam veterans but also those affected by recent conflicts, such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
