The adventures of a young Marine through two tours of duty in Vietnam during the worst years of the war, 1967-1970. The story begins with the author's enlistment and continues through discharge from the Marine Corps, and describes the everyday life before, during, and after the war. His experiences while with 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, stationed near Dai Loc, Vietnam are told in vivid detail. After returning to the United States after thirteen months, and being unable to cope with stateside duty, the author returns to Vietnam for a second tour of duty with III Marine Amphibious Force Psychological Operations and the Combined Action Program. Nothing is left untold. He describes the horror of returning to the United States after another thirteen months to a bitter and unwelcome homecoming. Finally, after many years of scorn, the Vietnam veteran is accepted. But the author refuses to be labeled a hero, saving that title for those who earned it with their sacrifices. Experience all the glory, the hell, and the anguish of the United States Marine Corps, and the Vietnam War.
