Haunted by War | My Dad’s Story of Survival, Spirit, and the Ghosts of Vietnam

This Veterans Day, I sit down with my dad — a Vietnam veteran, artist, and seeker — for one of the most powerful conversations I’ve ever recorded.

From the streets of South Buffalo to the jungles of Vietnam, this is a story about survival, soul, and surrender — and how spirit found him through the noise of war.

In this intimate father–daughter conversation, we explore:

🇮🇹 Growing up under the shadow of his own father — a Little Italy, NYC native and WWII tank commander — whose strength shaped generations
🪖 The wild and restless youth that led him from Buffalo’s steel yards to the frontlines of Vietnam
🌴 Life deep in the jungle: ambushes, fear, heat, and moments that defy explanation
⚰️ The haunting memory of “Two Crow” — a fallen brother whose spirit still walks beside him
🔮 The dangers of “sorcery” — and what happens when we seek power without light
🌄 The wilderness years: carving his own log cabin in Northern California, surviving off-grid, and finding God in the silence
🪵 Healing through art, nature, and surrender — learning that ego death can lead to awakening
💫 How faith, energy, and intuition guided him toward forgiveness and peace
💬 His message to veterans: the war ends when you open your heart again

This isn’t just a war story — it’s a spiritual odyssey.
A story of ghosts, grace, and finding the sacred in survival.
