Overview

DAMN IT, I'M HIT! In his poignant memoir, Dan Tomczak tells of some of his experiences in the Vietnam War, as well as its long-reaching after-effects. In his own words, and through news clippings, photographs, maps, telegrams and other artifacts, Dan takes you along his journey from eager young draftee, to combat soldier, to catastrophically injured veteran, through his recovery and re-assimilation into society. And then, just as life is looking good, a surprise setback twenty years after Vietnam. Sprinkled among the text are many intriguing documents including: Draft Notice Military Code of Conduct for Vietnam Shockingly aloof telegrams from the U.S. Military to Sergeant Tomczak's parents, informing them of his injuries Record of Personal Effects gathered after his injuries Heartrending personal correspondence to and from the patient Military Pay Voucher from November 1969 Originally created as a scrapbook for his children and grandchildren, Dan's memoir was passed around and met with widespread praise and many requests for copies. Thus was born the book you hold in your hands. A narrative of many levels. This is a real-life account of a boy maturing into a man, with specific incidents that required that boy being a man well before his time. What a gift and a treasure to the generation that follows. ...a reminder that freedom we Americans so enjoy, was bought at a very dear price...
