Overview

In 2008, I volunteered as a guide in the National Medal of Honor Museum. I very quickly realized that most visitors to the museum, left the museum without learning what these brave warriors did to earn the Medal of Honor. A missing piece that I thought was very important. I resolved then the fix that.The citation associated with each Medal of Honor is sometimes quite lengthy and it is written in military language that many civilians don't understand. My goal was to shorten the verbiage and make it easily readable by the general public and to the youth.As a result, I chose to create a poetic 4-line description of each of the 256 Vietnam War Medal of Honor recipient citations for all to read in a quick read snapshot format.This book includes a picture of each Medal of Honor recipient, the medal he was awarded and the 4-line poetic description of this heroic actions.This book would be appropriate for Vietnam War veterans library, birthday gifts, awards for veterans, holiday gifts, collectors, poetry enthusiasts and more.

Author Information

"I am a Vietnam War veteran. I was drafted from college and served as a conscience objector combat medic in 1969-1971. I started writing in high school, but after the war, I set down my pen. I lived with some serious PTSD following the war. It wasn't until age 60 that I decided to face my difficulties and try to get some much needed help. I picked up my pen again to start journaling my PTSD and VA journey, but that practice quickly evolved into writing poetry again. I discovered writing as a very good coping tool for my PTSD troubles. I have written many hundreds of poems since I started this writing journey. There are 256 poems in this ""Vietnam War Medal of Honor"" book. I have another poetry book that is titled ""Some Wounds Don't Bleed"" that is a poetic account of my personal PTSD journey. It is my wish that these writings will be beneficial to you in some manner, just like they have been healing to me in writing them. Enjoy."
