The son of a WW II vetern and Merchant Marine Michael chose to follow in the footsteps of his Father and joined the Army in 1975. Among the many Army bases and countries visited in his seventeen years his first adventure came in the form of being shipped out to a place called South East Asia for a three month special assigment. Some thirty three years later Michael shares some of his experiences as well as experiences of his fellow veterans. A few veterans he got to know personally, many he knew only by the stories they told of similar circumstances. This book is a few of the many stories out there. Michael felt compelled to share these few words in hope of bringing about his healing and also those of his fellow veterans and their families. Scars go deeper than many of us can fathom, it is time to heal.view less
