Recapturing our Reputation

I was yanked out of the field in Vietnam to come home on emergency leave because Dad had a heart attack. I had on khaki uniform, jump boots and a Green Beret. A civilian drinking coffee beside me asked me where I was serving. When I replied "Vietnam" he turned and stared. "You guys are all screwed up," he said. Then he picked up his coffee and moved down the counter. He continued to shoot curious glances at me. Waiting for...

Let us honor the REAL Vets...

This is a real stand up and cheer book for Vets and their friends and families. A two-tour Army Nurse friend recommended it the last time I sent her an email ranting about Wannabees and fakes, and I am most grateful for the suggestion. Thanks, Chris.At a time when Vietnam Vets are finally beginning to receive something like the respect and recognition that they always deserved, this is the time to wage war on those who would...

Journalists and Editors Should Read This Book

Every journalist, editor, and TV producer should read Stolen Valor. Hopefully that would keep them from interviewing and featuring the scruffy looking liars, fakers, and "wannabees" in camouflage fatigues covered with patches, pins, and unearned medals when they want to interview a Vietnam veteran. Too many journalists pass on to their readers--and preserve for posterity--whatever lies they are told about secret missions behind...

Stolen Valor - a must read for all Vietnam Vets

Stolen Valor: How the Vietnam Generation Was Robbed of It's Heroes and It's History is a powerful piece of investigative journalism.The book begins with an account of the building of the Texas Vietnam Memorial and co-author B.G. Burkett's year "in country" during the Vietnam War and his return to the United States. While the veterans of World Wars 1 and 2 and Korea were considered to be heroes, the Vietnam Veteran was...
