Wendell Overlock

I'm writing in honor of my husband. He served during the Vietnam War. That war may be over but it will never be over for my husband. It left many wounds and scars, although not visible to the human eye they're in his heart and mind. It is only by his faith in God that he is able to bear this burden. He has a great love for his country and fellow soldiers. In spite of his PTSD he has become a great husband, father, and grandfather. We love him dearly. It is through my husband and men like him, past and present that our country enjoys the freedoms we do today.

He returned with a recurring case of malaria, and suffered all his long life from what today we would call PTSD. Read about his life in "A Maine Man in the Making," by his son, Franklin F. Gould.
