"...decades after he lay bleeding in a field in Vietnam worried if he would lose his leg, Lt. Col. Dale Hanson," thanked Disneyland for the healing role it played in his life.  And Disneyland honored him with "a special introduction" in it's daily Flag Retreat Ceremony.   Upon return to America after the war, and on a whim purchasing $1 'Welcome Home' tickets, Hansen spend hours on a bench in Disneyland, "enjoying the happiness," people watching, and "getting his thoughts together."    story
