Summary

A Vietnam War memoir written by a veteran whose daughter wanted to know about his experiences during that crazy Asian war. 

"Hey, Dad, instead of a gift, would you share your Vietnam experiences with me?" So, four months later, with my memoir complete, I sent what I had finished over to her.

Two weeks passed when Naomi called me and gushed, "Dad, this is the best gift you've ever given me, I liked it so much I read it twice!"

Then, Naomi asked another question, "Hey Dad, let's go to Vietnam, just you and me?"

Can I return to a place that existed in my past, but feels illusional in the present? Could the ghosts of "Vietnam past" morph into a father and daughter blessing in the present?

My Vietnam places the listener into the boots of a grunt roaming through the blood-ridden jungle. Experience the turmoil, inside and out, that was the life of a young soldier as he counted the days to return to "the world", hopefully alive.

Discover today's Vietnam through the eyes of the author as he traveled back to the land where he fought and survived. Not just a Vietnam War book, but also a heartwarming story!
