Many Vietnam veterans from the 243rd Assault Support Helicopter Company (ASHC) have found an outlet for healing after being silent and alone for more than four decades.
Newly organized reunions are rebuilding lost relationships and providing a type of support found only with each other.
The veterans group gathered in Fenton for its third reunion last weekend. The event was hosted by Mike and Sue Koeller from Fenton. Each year attendance has grown and this year around 25 veterans attended the St. Louis reunion held at the Hampton Inn in Fenton. The first two reunions were held in Nebraska and Texas.
"It's a great experience even for the spouses because most of these men came home and did not want to talk about Vietnam," Sue Koeller said. "I've heard more stories in the last three years than I've heard in 38 years of marriage."
