Follow a young man from South Texas on his journey through the horrors of combat in America's most controversial war. I know many veterans do not wish to recall the horrors of war, but I believe that remaining silent is a disservice to the young people of this country, especially those who will one day serve in combat. As a high school substitute teacher I was dealing with young people who upon learning I was a Vietnam combat veteran, asked me to write a short book about my first tour of Vietnam. I realized the book would have to be geared toward very young people so I omitted all bad language and much of the graphic descriptions of war. This book should be read by people over the age of 14.
