I joined the Marine Corps in May of 1966 after seeing television coverage of the war in Vietnam. I wanted to know what war was really like. I found out. My little portion of the war included being launched into the air by an enemy grenade, engaging in firefights, walking about nightly in "e;mine and booby trap land,"e; living through a mortar attack, being hit by friendly fire, having to search for enemies in a leper colony, watching 122 mm rocket roar past my hut, and experiencing daily threats on the lives of myself and those I led.The book is my attempt to capture those moments on paper and to release the "e;horrors of war"e; from my brain. All veterans carry with them the burden of war; some are unable to cope and resort to suicide as a way out. My message is for veterans to talk to others or write their thoughts down in a story like I did. Maybe then they will find peace.
