"Come up Voice" is a story about a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War who after fifty years is still struggling with PTSD. It describes in vivid detail his journey from "new guy" innocence to a battle tested and hardened veteran. But his journey doesn't end there.
He has always been afraid to tell this story, fearing the inability to separate his nightmares from reality.
