"It's hard to get them to really believe that there is not that much paperwork involved. Anybody who has ever dealt yvith the VA knows how much paperwork there is, but with this program, a lot of it is eliminated." Not only must the potential employees be convinced of the limited paperwork, D'Avi says, many have to be convinced that a Vietnam veteran can be a good employee, and not a "maniac." "I see the employers' view," she says. "That's what we are trying to push aside."

Both Johns and Bennett believe that they, and many other Vietnam veterans, were shafted but that they were still able to make it.

Typical Saturday afternoon outings for the teen-ager means a trip to the mall, catching the latest in movies or skating at one of the local rinks.

"If they come to us, we can assist them," Bennett says. Assisting not only means helping the veterans fi^id a job, but it can also mean just being there. One ot the Triad Vietnam Veteran's most popular programs is a rap session held on Thursday nights. "They can come and talk about what's bothering or affecting them," Bennett says. "Sometimes the guys get all choked up and many times 1 get choked up myself." But sympathy doesn't stop at the support groups. During the interview with Johns, his telephone rang five or six times, and each time it was a fellow veteran inquiring if Johns would be at the meeting and if things were going okay with him. "That's how close we are," Johns says. Unlike Bennett, Johns seems filled with- rage and -anguish. "Yeah, I'm bitter," he says. "I'm bitter at the svstem. I kept up my end of the contract.
