Dan Mayhak Vietnam Vet , Songwriter bringing America together




Dan Mayhak used to work out at Powerhouse Gym in Anchorage, Alaska. Mayhak, in his 58, says he used to suffer from severe alcoholism and depression and that bodybuilding helped him recover. He had hopes to win a national master's championship and become a motivational speaker.

Dan Mayhak served in Vietnam. He went through hell, many guys did that part of Dan’s story isn’t unique. Dan returned home to a country that didn't much love him at the time. Injured, physically, exposed to severe levels of Agent Orange, (due to an accident at his barracks, that is still causing trouble to this day) and injured mentally.

Dan couldn't have dreamed that coming home was only the beginning of the trouble. Severe alcoholism and depression, anger and God knows what else haunted Dan for quite some time. Several failed marriages, bouts with cancer and other health problems brought on by his service to his country seemed only too heavy the burden. Poor treatment from his fellow citizens, from the DAV, VA and Government as a whole didn't help the matter.

You would think Dan would've given up a long damned time ago. You would think Dan wouldn't be of much use to society today. Well, you'd be thinking wrong.
