I used to get home and break down and cry my eyes out, there was days when it was very tough (khó khăn). But I was very lucky that I have a close family that helped me through. But it was the toughest few years of my life, for sure. 

He says fireworks may not have an effect on all vets (cựu chiến binh), but for a small amount, it can bring flashbacks (hồi tưởng) from the front lines (tiền tuyến). “They’ll hear fireworks go off and it’ll bring memories to them. A lot of them will get nervous, break down and cry about all the memories," he said.
