(70-71)one month after graduated from Kenmore west High School, I received my draft noticeI reported to Ft Dix for eight weeks of basic training. after graduation I received orders to report for medical training at Ft Sam Houston TX. for ten weeks. After graduation I worked at Brooke Army Medical Center. I worked the emergency room, I also gave injections to the troops going over seas. Then I received my orders for RVN ( Republic of Viet Nam I wrote this book about some of the memories I stuffed way down deep in my mind; Due to not feeling very welcome in the country I fought for. When I returned home, I grew my hair long and wouldn't wear anything green or military attire. I suffered from a serious skin condition, night mares, and flashbacks. (PTSD) I'm 67 years old now. In the face of death, I found some true friendships and brotherhood. You will meet a true humble hero SSgt. Randy Cox. one of the most significant man in my life.

Strap on your back pack, lock and load your mind for a tour of this combat medic along with Charlie Company in the bush of the Central Highland, South Viet Nam. NVA (North Vietnamese Army), VC (Viet Cong) were the enemy soldiers, all of whom used very crude booby traps and intricate tunnels to hide and ambush our soldiers. My name is Doc Sorrento I was 19 yrs. Old; attached to the 22nd infantry Charlie Co. we were a well-trained recon platoon. We moved swiftly and quietly through the roughest terrain; the temp was over 110 degrees F and the monsoon season was just starting, it rained for 5 months, it was like living in a sauna 24/7. Remember to keep a safe distance between you and the soldier in front of you 5-10 ft. is good. When the shooting starts grab some cover and return fire quickly. No time for panic just react and keep your head. My job started when someone got hit or got caught in a booby trap. When I heard medic that was my cue to do whatever was needed to keep my rifleman alive until the dust off arrive d safely. When the sun went down darkness was our best camouflage. I carried a flash light with a red lens. At night light was our worst enemy. If you want to light a cigarette you better cover yourself with a poncho before striking that match, cup the burning end in your hands that red glow makes you definite target to get your head blown off. My first mission was on the border of Viet Nam and Cambodia. We loaded up on choppers, we stayed close and flew at tree top level. I had no clue as to what was as waiting for us. As we approached our combat assault area we drew some fire from the ridge. We were hovering around eight feet above the ground, the door gunner was returning fire and yelling JUMP!!!

Download or read book Welcome to Hell World written by Luke O'Neil and published by OR Books. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Luke O’Neil isn’t angry, he’s asleep. When he’s awake, he gives vent to some of the most heartfelt, political and anger-fueled prose to power its way to the public sphere since Hunter S. Thompson smashed a typewriter’s keys. Welcome to Hell World is an unexpurgated selection of Luke O’Neil’s finest rants, near-poetic rhapsodies, and investigatory journalism. Racism, sexism, immigration, unemployment, Marcus Aurelius, opioid addiction, Iraq: all are processed through the O’Neil grinder. He details failings in his own life and in those he observes around him: and the result is a book that is at once intensely confessional and an energetic, unforgettable condemnation of American mores. Welcome to Hell World is, in the author’s words, a “fever dream nightmare of reporting and personal essays from one of the lowest periods in our country in recent memory.” It is also a burning example of some of the best writing you’re likely to read anywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Hurricane Katrina reveals about the fault lines of race and poverty in America-and what lessons we must take from the flood-from best-selling ''hip-hop intellectual'' Michael Eric Dyson Does George W. Bush care about black people? Does the rest of America? When Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, hundreds of thousands were left behind to suffer the ravages of destruction, disease, and even death. The majority of these people were black; nearly all were poor. The federal government's slow response to local appeals for help is by now notorious. Yet despite the cries of outrage that have mounted since the levees broke, we have failed to confront the disaster's true lesson; to be poor, or black, in today's ownership society, is to be left behind. Displaying the intellectual rigor, political passion, and personal empathy that have won him fans across the color line, Michael Eric Dyson offers a searing assessment of the meaning of Hurricane Katrina. Combining interviews with survivors of the disaster with his deep knowledge of black migrations and government policy over decades, Dyson provides the historical context that has been sorely missing from public conversation. He explores the legacy of black suffering in America since slavery, including the shocking ways that black people are framed in the national consciousness even today. With this call-to-action, Dyson warns us that we can only find redemption as a society if we acknowledge that Katrina was more than an engineering or emergency response failure. From the TV newsroom to the Capitol Building to the backyard, we must change the ways we relate to the black and the poor among us. What's at stake is no less than the future of democracy.

Sam Moody has recorded in faithful detail the harrowing account of his experiences as a Prisoner of War of the Japanese Government from the surrender of Bataan until the Japanese surrender in 1945. We can only marvel at the ability of our men to adjust to the desperate, deplorable, and inhuman treatment and conditions inflicted on them by an unreasoning, vicious enemy. An enemy that scorned and refused to accept the Geneva Conventions for treatment of POWs. It brings tears to realize the dreadful personal human price so many of our men paid as Prisoners of War of the Imperial Japanese Government.—William G. Hipps, Brigadier General USAF (Ret.)
