Sadly , especially for Vietnam vets it was more than just PTSD that hurt them . The USA was in turmoil in the late 60’s ( after JFK’s murder ) . Groups were demonstrating against the war and especially the soldiers who fought it , they were returning home like Kenny and trying to live a normal life but that didn’t happen . He was a Hero who just wanted peace , may he have it now with GOD . R I P Kenny Kays keep God laughing on his dark days . Thank you Tara for this story of a man who never wanted to be considered a Hero . He. Was .
Many saw too much and it is sad that the man didn't get the help he needed when he was discharged or later. PTSD is horrible for all veterans who fought in wars. May he RIP. May other veterans learn from him seek help, it's there if you want it. 🙏
My heart hurts, hearing this story. Kenny Kays very reluctantly did what his country demanded and he saved the lives of many of his fellow soldiers while losing a leg in the process. As a Former Navy Corpsman during the same war, I have a bit of insight into how he must have felt while serving. Some men have great difficulty processing the horrors of their war and I can't imagine the hell that was his.
Mr. Kays was a reluctant hero. I salute you Sir and may you rest in peace. Thank you Tara for this MOH Monday, as horrific as it is.
Kenny Kays is a hero. He went above and beyond for his comrades. Our government failed to do the same for him and many like him. War is Hell is easily said but those who have been there, know better than I, you are forever changed and sometimes broken beyond repair. I hope to see his story in Congress and a positive reaction and solution be the outcome. Thanks Tara. God bless all those who answered the call to serve.
Vietnam was an awful war, a political war that we should never have entered into. I have a few older friends who still struggle with PTSD, still have terrible reactions to the backfiring of a car or other loud, sudden noises. Kenny Kays' struggles were not rare among Vietnam vets, sad to say.
A healing warrior who lost his own life in the battles, only to continue it as a ghost of his former self. Nam was a hard experience for so many. Prayers for those who endured it and lived beyond those horrors.
Thanks for the MOH Monday's and Kenny Kays heroism, his story is a reminder that many do not recover from what they experienced during the war. I missed serving in the Vietnam war because I was a couple years to young, but many I knew who served were never the same. Thank you for this reminder how destructive war is. Thank you to all who served!
From talking to combat survivors, my understanding is very few of them are bother by the training, and they can rationalize the killing. What they can't escape is having nobody to talk about it with, since they guys by their side who could understand didn't make it home.
Thank you Kenny Kays for your actions that saved the lives of many of your brothers. You answered the call and went above and beyond. Many came home because you did.
A real American Hero, with a tragic end. May he Rest in Peace. Thank you, Tara Ross, for keeping his memory alive, and for reminding us that leaving the battlefield does not mean the war is over.

Well Said Wally 👏 👌 👍 🙌
Yeah, sometimes it's hard to tell the sad stories.... But those heroes deserve to be remembered, too. 💔💔

Sadly, another wasted life from Vietnam.
