About this audiobook
Uncover the gritty, real-life story of a Vietnam combat veteran.
With an engaging and authentic retelling of his experiences as an infantry soldier of the B Co., 1/5th 1st Cavalry Division in the Vietnam War, this gripping account details the life and struggles of war in a strange and foreign country.
What started as a way of bringing closure to a grieving mother morphed into a memoir, covering the author’s deployment, duty, and eventual return to the United States after the end of the war. Imbued with the emotion that he felt during this conflicted time, along with letters and journal entries from decades ago, this memoir is a testament to the sacrifice that these brave men and women made fighting on foreign soil.
Recounting the tragedies of war and the chaos of combat as an infantry soldier, in the words of the author: “We lived, and fought as a unit, covering each other’s backs. Most came home to tell their own stories, many didn’t."

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great. Account. Of. One. Man’s. Account. Of. His. Vietnam. Experience
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Recently, I listened to two very good Viet Nam military conflict biographies based on two U. S. Marine units. When I decided to listen to this audio story about U. S. Army infantry man’s term in Viet Nam, II fully expected to hear the same harrowing rendition and heartbreak. This story still explained the injuries, deaths, and disappointments, however the author explained things in more of a matter of fact way, and he left out much of the gripes and complaining most infantry men would readily include as part of the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
