“TO THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR IT, LIFE HAS A FLAVOR THAT THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW!” This was the maxim of the Vietnam soldier and those of us who served fully understand it. I fought the NVA in the infantry near the Cambodian border with the 25th Infantry Division out of Tay Ninh and then was rotated to Long Binh to work with soldiers suffering from combat fatigue. My Combat Infantryman’s Badge allowed soldiers to feel comfortable talking with me. I chronicled my experiences into a memoir titled “Courage on the Mountain” which is a free read for Amazon Prime members. It has received over 900 five-star reviews and been read by thousands of our brother and sister veterans. As I said, it is a free read and I would be honored if you chose to view the introduction on Amazon and even more so if you decide to read it. I’m sure that you’ll find it captivating. I’m glad that you made it home! May God Bless! Courage on the Mountain- Courage on the Mountain
