Boots on the Ground

I was born during the Vietnam War.  My father and father in law were both exempted for physical reasons or I might not even be here, my husband might not be here.  I have vague recollections of news but not much else.  We did not talk about or study Vietnam in school.  It was too recent, too raw.

I appreciated this book.  The honesty, the variety of viewpoints, the background, and the healing.  We still have a long way to go - especially with how our veterans are taken care of but this was a worthy text.
