Overview

On the battlefront and at home, letters provide a vital connection between military service members and their families, friends, and loved ones. Motivated by the extraordinary circumstances of war, letter writers often reveal the priorities of life through vivid, heartfelt words and sentiments. Soldiers wrote letters in spare moments, sometimes from front-line trenches or in the calmer surroundings behind the lines. Censorship dictated what servicemen were permitted to disclose in their letters. However, in practice, men often found ways to impart information, and their letters offer a powerful and highly personal insight into the experience of war. This book was written for family and friends of Vietnam veterans so they might better understand what the Vietnam veteran went through while serving their country. The author knew many Vietnam vets wouldn't or couldn't talk about Vietnam and their experiences there. Now, many have forgotten most of the details and they only see glimpses of those days long ago. The author took many years to compile this work and used actual letters he wrote and those written to him, to piece together his story. He wanted to keep it real and not embellish his story. It is a nonfictional account of his time in Vietnam and will give the reader some insight into what it was like. He describes situations and activities as they happened, not at all like the movies or documentaries you might have seen. It is a day-to-day account of his tour of duty, it's exciting, exhilarating, and true.
