" ... if you felt like you helped any of them get through that moment, you know i think that would probably be would be peaks and mountains, you know you peak when you really felt like you helped someone, then you go down in the valley and what do you want to do and can I help you and and they die and then all of a sudden you find your way and you peak by helping somebody you know writing a letter or helping them go home because they couldn't handle it anymore."

Peter Brenner's Story:

Peter Brenner was a chaplain in the Vietnam War . He helped troops through hard times, by counseling them when they returned from the fighting areas, and preaching to them during the war. His father was also a chaplain, so this promoted him to become one too. He also liked talking. He liked talking on news media, television, and the radio. Ministers have to talk a lot when they counsel and preach, so this also encouraged Peter Brenner to become a minister to the soldiers.

Peter Brenner traveled a lot as a child, because his father was a chaplain, so he had to go from place to place a lot. Being on active reserve for twenty years, he had some friends who were the other chaplains, and he liked helping people through hard times. His father housed people who didn't have a home on Cape Cod, in the house that he currently lives in with his wife.
