Nelson enlisted in the Marines at eighteen to escape poverty and discrimination, trained in Okinawa, and deployed to Vietnam in 1966. He returned home severely traumatized, spending years on the streets before crossing paths with Dr. Daniels — a psychologist at the Philadelphia VA hospital pioneering treatments for those suffering from PTSD — who set about helping Allen confront what the war had left behind. It was the beginning of a dialogue that would eventually carry Nelson’s testimony far beyond the clinic — he would go on to speak about his war experience on nearly 1,200 occasions throughout Japan alone.
