    About this ebook

    Welcome Home is the tale of one man's struggle to maintain his innocence amid a brutal war, torn between his family's expectations, his loyalty to his brothers-in-arms, and his own moral code.

    His father fought in WWII. His brother in Korea. When his own draft card arrived, he knew he would have to fight in Vietnam. But he could not bring himself to kill another man.
