From the Delta to the DMZ come walk in their boots. If you were there you understand. If you weren't grab a copy and you will because they're like Doritos. Try a few and you won't be able to stop.</p><p> </p><p> The Vietnam War dominated my generation and affected so many lives in so many different ways. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some became war heroes intentional or not but most of us were just trying to survive. As we all knew Vietnam was all about luck good or bad. And there were hundreds of different wars depending on where you were the year you were there your service branch unit rank job and race. Whether we were truck drivers helicopter pilots infantryman clerk typists medics engineers MPs sailors out on Yankee station artillerymen or cooks from 1956 to 1976 from the Delta to the DMZ these stories tell who we were the jobs we did our memories of that time and place how it changed us and what we did after we came home.</p><p> </p><p> Some of us were drafted.

But that wasn't how most of us spent our year. Hopefully these books will help correct that narrative.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
