AWESOME

I've read this book and it's ssooooooo cool!!!!!! If you have read the book you'll know that Patrick has a younger sister. There is another book that is about her when Patrick is off at war. I think it's called "Where Have All the Flowers Gone"

A reader who loves WAR books

This book is one of the many war books that make people think "wow did that really happen?" Wheni was reading this I thought the same. This book isn't as gory as some people would think it is but its not. This book takes you into Vietnam. When reading this you will learn about the loss of friends men only new for a short while. Some men even shot themselves in the foot to got out of the hell of war. War readers you'll like this book.

You can read it over and over!

I absolutly loved this book. I never read such a great book. I wasn't so happy with the few cuss words though. I think this is the best My Name is America book yet. If you like this book then you will enjoy "Where have all the Flowers Gone".

A great book

The Journal of Patrick Seamus Flaherty is a book about a young Marine. I liked this book because it tells people about what Marines really go through, loses and gains. I think everyone should read it.

One of the Best Dear Americas Yet!

I love the Dear America series and read all of them as soon as they come out, but I had never been a big fan of the My Name Is America companion series. However, I read this book because I enjoyed Where Have All The Flowers Gone?, which is the companion to this book, very much. Once I started reading, I couldn't put this down! Any fans of historical fiction or anyone who is interested in the Vietnam War should definately read Patrick's journal.
