Biography
John Stephen Yandell, Steve, served with the Marine Corps in Vietnam from June 1968 to July 1969. After his return home this sensitive, caring man was haunted by agonizing memories of his tour and the guilt of having survived. For Steve, the fire that burns in each of us seemed to have been blown out. He had lost the joy of living and suffered for more than 25 years with nightmares, flashbacks and an overwhelming sense of grief. On October 10, 1995, Steve took his own life and ended the pain he had endured for so long.
