About this ebook
Why I wrote this Book
I became interested in writing about the Vietnam War from my own perspective when I saw TV documentaries showing marines and some army soldiers indiscriminately burning Vietnamese thatch houses, destroying livestock and capturing old men, women and children. Those documentaries give a negative impression to the American public, that all American soldiers did that. This book is to tell the readers from my own personal combat experiences, that there were American soldiers and ARVN Rangers who fought and died courageously against the Viet Cong guerillas and North Vietnamese Army soldiers without harming old men, women or children. On my tour of duty from 1966 to 1967, my recon platoon, my 4th/12th Battalion, my 199th Brigade and the gallant South Vietnamese Black Panther Rangers that fought and died beside us, did not burn any thatch houses or shoot any innocent civilians.
Eduardo Infante Antonio
From the island of Guam, Eduardo Infante Antonio is drafted into the US Army in 1966. He is sent to Ft. Ord California where he completes his Basic and Advanced Training as an Infantryman. Upon reassignment to Ft. Benning, he volunteers and becomes Point Man for the 4/12 Infantry of the 199th Light Infantry Brigade. (REDCATCHER) In his memoirs Antonio recounts the recon platoon’s endless patrol through steamy tropical jungles, sugar and rice fields, their face-to-face firefights with the Viet Cong and in Joint Operations with the Elite Black Panther ARVN Rangers their battle with North Vietnamese Army soldiers. He shares his platoon’s experiences as they overcome their wounds, their anguish, and frustrations over the loss of their officers and friends during the War in Vietnam of 1966, 1967.'
