The Shadow of the Rainbow

After visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall with my wife in 1991 and being a student of history I continue my interest online. I was surprised to find that among the fifty-eight-thousand-plus Vietnam veterans memorialized on that cold black granite wall in Washington D.C. somehow twelve names of people who were still alive were among them. One day shortly after I retired my wife Ann like many wives do became annoyed at my being under her feet all day and suggested quite emphatically that I go find a hobby. So I did hence The Shadow of the Rainbow. Based loosely on historical facts this is a fictitious story of a thirteenth persons name on the wall that woke up from coma one day to find he still had a chance to follow those dreams that had been so violently snatched from all the others.
