Drawn from the hearts, minds, and guts of those who served, this book tells it like it really happened to the individual soldier in-country. Even more telling is the life of the soldier after he came home--what happened with his friends, family, and his own personal life. This book is not only for and about the veteran, but for any one who lived through the WAR in Vietnam. The reader will find an attachment with the individuals in each chapter, and find themselves drifting back in time to those days that they had tried so hard to forget or hide. The pains of a long-past war are revealed here--told by those who have lived with the pain daily for 30+ years. Their stories are a beacon pointing the way toward respect for the soldiers of today, and rememberance of those who went before.
