 I got injured. The track we were riding on hit a 500-pound bomb that was rigged as a landline and got burned over 41% of my body. Lost my right hand at the wrist and I left my arm at the shoulder and a lot of this figuring scars from the burns. I didn't see a future worth living at that point. Hi, I'm Bobby Berreira. I'm a Vietnam veteran. The changing point in my life was in 1974 where I met Madisela, my wife, and she is a lady who molded me into who I am, into who I became after Vietnam. My biggest passion in life has to be service. I was on the receiving end when I came back, when I had to make the adjustment to living life as a double entity. Someone was there to serve me, someone was there to say, hey, you can do it. So it's a cycle. Now it's my turn to give back to them. I think the advice that I would give, the returning veterans, they need to navigate the system with the support of an organization like DAV. DAV does all kinds of wonderful things to help them finding out the disability, the compensation, educational benefits, the housing allowances. I never knew that I could get my automobile modified, those are the kinds of things that DAV does for the veteran. I really don't think that I could function without Madisela in my life. She's always there. The more important to me is the emotional support, the caring that she extends to me has made the difference. I'm a veteran and my victory is my marriage.
