About this ebook
In this book, the Battle of Hill 488 is described accurately, in action-packed detail, which you will never find in any other accounts of its history. It also explores the prices paid, and the lengths men will go to in the pursuit of glory. It contains over 100 pictures, some of actual time and location where the story takes place in Vietnam.
Men who sincerely intend to dedicate their lives to becoming soldiers and begin to experience the beauty of service, no matter what the ideologies they find themselves fighting for, they never forget what their dedication did to their body, mind, and spirit. The memories become sacred to them for the rest of their lives. Things that were hidden from public view can fester as time passes into the future. In this book the future is now.
Few endeavors in life demand the sacrifice of life, as a prerequisite to accomplishing the goals of any given profession. However, men, in their innocence, seeking glory for a just cause, many times see that the light of glory cast dark shadows of betrayal.
It has been said those who die in combat are the lucky ones. In the Battle of Hill 488, many who were close to the six men that died have mourned their loss, but time has shown that the twelve survivors were forced to suffer a burden. Shadowed by the light of glory, and hidden in the darkness, there were men who claimed the authority to dictate history. This was the reality the survivors were forced to bow, compromises, or contend with. Despite their lofty intentions, some found it easier to bow, while some were claimed by death due to the confusion within their souls.
This story, though taking place in Vietnam during the twentieth century is about the plight of ancient and immortal warriors; young men seeking to make their contributing mark in life, were awakened by the light of glory, and took different paths to endure the dilemma of reality.
