The Battle of Hamburger Hill was one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War. One man began his deployment by performing a reconnaissance mission on the hill, and the experience left him with PTSD. Over the last 40 years, he’s been healing through his gardens.

Chuck Newhall III is 74 years old, and resides in Maryland. When he was 21, he was deployed to Vietnam from 1968 to 1969.
