He decided after discussing with his father who was a World War II fighter pilot to write down his experiences to share the oral history with his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. His father completed his oral history and put it together in a booklet for his family. It was after that time that the author thought that it was important to write down his experiences. It was around ten years ago that the author had an epiphany about his time in Vietnam it was then that he decided to write down his Vietnam experiences for his children, and grandchildren in hopes of assisting them in their walk of faith. The author has often considered the experiences of his life from the early years to the present. A big part of those experiences has stayed with him throughout his life. His tour in Vietnam had a profound effect on his life since his tour to present. It is something that is important to pass along to those who follow us. For years Vietnam Veterans were instructed not to say anything for fear of causing harm to those still serving in Vietnam.
This writing is a reflection of his service during his tour in Vietnam. He was an artillery gunner assigned to Charlie Battery assigned as fire support for Special Forces during his tour from January 1969 to April of 1970. His experiences have always been present in his life from those days to this writing. It was nearly ten years ago that an incident happened 40 years earlier would result in some clarity that caused the author to reflect and write about his experiences with the realization that God has always been with him throughout his life.view less
