This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers today often express an interest in reading something “real,” just as many movie goers look for films “based on a true story.” One cannot find anything more real than this book. Every contributor is invested in its vision, and each one personally offers to help readers. In this sense, this book’s impact goes far beyond the pages. Joe DeFazio is the point person and his humbly expressed record of what he is able to accomplish for other suffering veterans is nothing short of heroic. Bruce McDaniel, a multi-decorated medic, is also an understated hero who, with his wife and family, has extended a life of compassion long after the Vietnam War’s end into today, taking refugee children into their home to love and rear. His own thoughtful reflections on the war and its aftermath in his afterword to this book and his own Walk through the Valley: The Spiritual Journey of a Vietnam War Medic and The Hardest Part: Homecoming Stories from the Vietnam War bear out Joe’s concerns and example. You won’t come away from this brief book the same. It will widen your vision of how you too can help.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vietnam War divided a nation, but forever defined a generation of young men who put their lives on the line in the steaming hot, insect-infested, deadly jungles of a country the grunts ironically referred to as "the Flower Land."A Walk Through the Valley of Death tells the heartfelt, compelling, but often harrowing story of one such young man. In 1968, this sports-loving, All-American kid from a strong, working-class family, made a decision that would change his life forever. He joined the Army, leaving the comforts of the Bay Area for the jungles of Nam.The soldier's journey found him in pulse-pounding brushes with death in night ambushes, firefights, walking point and crawling after the enemy in pitch black tunnels armed only with a flashlight and a .45 caliber pistol. As a squad leader, his tour of duty also became a soul-searching journey as he experienced personal loss and began to question the meaning and purpose of the war.A Walk Through the Valley of Death follows this soldier's journey after the war, as he deals with the unhealed wounds he came home with: PTSD, as well as the chronic ill-effects of exposure to Agent Orange. But, it's also the story of one soldier's ultimate triumph in his long battle to build a monument to honor his fallen brothers-in-arms.A Walk Through the Valley of Death is an unforgettable journey that will remind you why we honor those who serve in the US military.
Book Synopsis Dance Of The Chameleon by : Jim R Squadrito
Download or read book Dance Of The Chameleon written by Jim R Squadrito and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ᅠDance of the Chameleon, A Vietnam Medic s Story is an eyewitness account of both heroic and shameful events occurring during the Vietnam War. Decorated medic, James Squadrito, served in three venues in Vietnam where the experiences he recounts in the book were far too common. Rampant drug use among soldiers, sex-trafficking of Vietnamese women as young as twelve and thirteen years old both on and off base, ill-trained officers, and woefully prepared medics including himself were common realities during the war. Jim tells of incidences of soldiers he had to patch up who had shot themselves to get sent home, of dead soldiers who were shot by friendly fire in retaliation for their attempts at troop discipline, and racial infighting that mirrored the conflicts of the civil rights movement stateside. Arms trafficking and drug and artifact smuggling were standard crimes perpetrated by soldiers and officers. Fortunately, these and other inglorious moments were counterbalanced by self-sacrifice and heroism. Jim, who, chameleonlike, changed his colors from the spoiled frat boy to a productive citizen, recounts his personal journey of growth from cynicism to spirituality. After leaving the service and left scarred by his experiences, he would talk with other Vietnam soldiers at vets gatherings. These sessions were cathartic for him and provided a motivation to write this book, which he hopes will be a source of healing for his comrades who still haven t recovered from the ravages of the Vietnam conflict. There are over one hundred thousand medics in the United States who walked the tightrope of saving lives and being pulled into actual combat when enemy troops ignored the Geneva Convention protocols. This book is a tribute to them who put the lives of soldiers first above their own. ᅠ

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is written by a lifelong pothead. Me. Most of it is probably true, if not a little exaggerated. So, if there's any question on the veracity of my tale, I'll refer to you elsewhere because only those who were there know the truth. What I can tell you is how overwhelming it is to have someone's life in my hands while secretly wondering what the hell to do next. But here I am, everyone looking for me to save them. No matter, I'll keep my guys alive if it's the last thing I do. Then, when it's over, I'll undoubtedly find some trouble to get into because life's too short not to have a little fun. The waiting joint is my reward, promising great ideas to keep me busy. If only they didn't backfire so spectacularly - like the time I took on the rat infestation with C4 and an ammo can, when I caused myself to be whipped by a 100-foot tree, or the time I blew up half of the encampment. Now all I have to do is stay out of my C.O.'s line of sight, which is not as easy a task as you might think. “This is not a traditional war story, but instead a journey of a young man coming of age in a war-torn country. From the moments of crisis where he shows his true grit to save a life, to the trouble he gets into daily, you won’t be bored. And it’s all true.” - P. B. Lee, Spec. 4

Book Synopsis A General's Spiritual Journey by : Hal Moores
Download or read book A General's Spiritual Journey written by Hal Moores and published by Wild Goose Ministries. This book was released on 2007-12-06 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I just want to be with my God and family --- and my men throughout eternity." Millions were inspired by the stirring, visceral account of Lt. General Hal Moore’s Vietnam War experience, as told in the New York Times #1 bestseller We Were Soldiers Once… And Young. The major motion picture adaptation, We Were Soldiers, was hailed by many as "one of the best war movies ever made." But there is so much more to the story. What forces shaped the character of this great man, one who still calls each of his fallen soldiers by name, who inspires the respect and awe of both his enemies in war and his friends in life? In A General’s Spiritual Journey, Hal Moore opens his heart and soul about the role of faith through his many life experiences. The book is an evocative collection of his memories, as observed and recorded by his friend and "driver." From his childhood in Kentucky, through West Point, to the bloody battlefields of Korea and Vietnam, in business and family, and into his current days of writing, speaking, and living without his beloved wife, Julia, Hal Moore leaves little doubt as to what he has always valued most in his life – his God. "Hal Moore has redefined heroism; his physical courage, his abilities to train and lead even through danger and desperation are only the beginning of character. He believes a leader’s role is not limited to the battlefield alone: he believes that God has created us to aspire to a different kind of Manhood, a Manhood that extends respect, honor, and compassion to everyone touched by the fires of war: wives, children, parents, siblings, and even those we have met as enemies. His heart is great enough to make Family a matter of choice. I am privileged to call myself a member of Hal Moore’s Chosen Family, and I aspire to live up to that gift." Randall Wallace, director of We Were Soldiers Upon graduating from West Point, Hal Moore chose to spend several days of retreat at the Abby of Gethsemani in Kentucky, to prepare himself spiritually for the challenge of commanding troops in Vietnam. A General’s Spiritual Journey is filled with snapshots of the remarkable experiences that resulted from this attitude of consecration—his wartime decisions not to attack Buddhist temples, his reunion with former enemy commanders in Vietnam, the deep bond he formed with his We Were Soldiers family. This treatise is about the different journeys we all walk and the immeasurable influence that is possible for each person whose actions are determined by an unbending devotion to Christ.

Book Synopsis Unlikely Warrior by : C. Michael Dingman
Download or read book Unlikely Warrior written by C. Michael Dingman and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2014-03-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had to make a choice between peace and honor, and I had chosen honor. So begins the journey of C. Michael Dingman from conflict-avoiding child and teen to recipient of a Bronze Star for Valor for his service as a combat medic in the Vietnam War to devoted minister. Unlikely Warrior is an achingly honest testimony of a decent boy becoming a good man, trusting his God and doing his best to do the right thing while covered in mud and blood and ducking volleys of enemy fire. A perfect sentence and a perfect statement of theme. Dingman includes, realistically, moments of grim levity (as when a pair of stubborn soldiers, eager to assert their pluck, eat cans of beans while standing unfazed over a dead body) amidst the horror of war; this is entirely appropriate, as the terror, unremitting, simply cannot be borne. The most effective journeys of the heart encompass the whole spectrum of human emotion.
Book Synopsis A Corpsman's Story by : Victor L. Edwards
Download or read book A Corpsman's Story written by Victor L. Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Vic Edwards, an Ohio farm boy and college drop-out, was seven years older than the average Marine in Vietnam. About to be drafted, he joined the Navy, went to Hospital Corps School, and was later assigned to the Marine Corps. Destination Vietnam. Though the cause seemed noble at the time, he was hardly prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. Leaving the nurturing support of family and community, he would face physical, moral, and spiritual challenges on a scale never before experienced. Where there are soldiers, vices follow. Confronted with such temptations in seemingly secure areas, he was confronted with trepidation to do as taught and trained, or to give up and give in to the new situation. His spirit reminded him to be faithful to his family and community and to the creed of the corps, "Simper Fidelis," always faithful to God, country, and the Marine Corps. Vic Edwards takes you with him through the crucible of the Vietnam War as he faces the challenges of battle, the mental and emotional roller coaster of grief and loss, and the spiritual struggles with God's claim on his life. He shares with you the humor and pathos of young men sent to a foreign land to bring stability and peace while his own country is rocked with riot and turmoil." --page [4] of cover
