Some enlisted. Some were true war heroes but most were just trying to survive. As everyone in-country knew Vietnam was all about luck good or bad. If you were there you understand. If you werent grab a copy and start reading anywhere in the book. The stories are like Doritos. Try a few and you wont be able to stop.The Vietnam War was the seminal event of my generation and affected so many lives. Over 58200 of us paid the ultimate price but the war didnt end when the last US helicopter lifted off from the roof of the US Embassy in Saigon. It continues to take its ugly toll on many who did come home. Instead of bands and parades we got PTSD and Agent Orange diabetes ischemic heart disease neuropathy leukemia Hodgkins Disease and prostate cancer and many more. As they say Vietnam is the gift that keeps on giving. Unfortunately what little our kids and grandkids know of the war comes from books that only focus on one soldier one unit and one year or movies like Oliver Stones Platoon and Hamburger Hill leaving people to think that all we did was crawl through the jungle on the Cambodian border smoking dope. But that wasnt how most of us spent our year. In February I published Volume 1. Due to the amazing response it received from vets and their families Im publishing Volume 2 with even more interesting exciting and informative stories. Hopefully they will help correct that narrative.
