About the Book
Not for Profit
Some things should be told. Some things shouldn't. This book is simply a collection of my memories that still remain from the year I spent in Vietnam, '68-69. That year was, and still is, a very special time in my life. I do not discuss or talk about that year very much. Now having five grandsons who bombard me with questions about my time in Vietnam, I wrote this book for them and attempted to write it so they could understand a small segment of their Grandad's history. It was easier to write it than it was to tell it. I could have written much more, but did not. Some things shouldn't be told, especially to my five wonderful grandsons.
