A Question of Honor
()
About this ebook
The Viet Nam war touched this nation just as it touched so many of those who served in that conflict. This is a story of one man's journey from innocence to valor through the harsh realities of war.
This story follows a young man’s growth through the war, starting with the innocent ideals of a Midwestern farm boy. The Army and the war worked to change his perceptions for all time.
With growing wartime experience, the youth changes emotionally as he makes difficult life and death decisions and completes intelligence missions under obscure political guidelines. With the passage of his innocence through the war, he is awarded medals and shame.
While many found that conflict to be abhorrent, the soldiers served with pride and came home to a country not ready to accept them. The most common question asked of those who returned is: "Why did you go? You could have refused or gone to Canada."
I always respond, “It was a Question of Honor.” Most people just shake their heads and walk away. If they have to ask the question, they cannot understand the answer.

Ronald Goulden has written novels and stories for thirty years. Having served in Viet Nam as a Translator/Interpreter, He quickly adapts to new cultures and sees a story or an adventure everywhere. He has ‘dabbled’ in witchcraft, though he is not a witch. All of his novels and stories have interconnecting threads that link them into a larger universe, spanning space and time. Some of the links are obvious, while others are very subtle. Some of the events in the stories are based on real life, while others are pure fiction. The distinction between fact and fiction is up to the reader. Having studied witchcraft many years earlier, it had always been in my mind. When I became an IT Director for the Farm Credit bank system in Wichita, I observed the ‘power’ a small group of ladies expressed over others in the bank and their general disdain for many of the men. I had also researched the BTK Killer during his spree and developed a program that allowed me to ‘predict’ his next attacks. As such, I saw the potential for violence in anyone. After being treated rather rudely by the band of bank beauties, I decided to write a story to explain their odd and overbearing personalities. Using newspaper stories and personal experiences, I settled on baby sacrifices and Satanism. While the personalities and physical attributes are based upon real people I knew at the time, their involvement is this story is purely fiction. There are many ‘links’ in this story to the other novels I’ve written over time, essentially building an alternate universe.
