Book excerpt: This book contains my views, perceptions, and memories of the Vietnam War. It is the perception of a career Air Force NCO and a high school student with a romanticized view of flying bombing missions with an iconic aircraft from the Second World War.

I started apathetic until John Kennedy became president. Early in my military career, I was a strong supporter of Kennedy's Vietnam policies. Then as the war progressed, I began questioning my beliefs. Here is where I am now, and how did I get to this point? The answer is, The Vietnam War, Through My Eyes.

Download or read book Memories Of The Vietnam War written by Heather Zecca and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-06-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vietnam War came to define America in the second half of the 20th century after America became entangled in Vietnam following a disastrous French attempt to prevent Indochina [the area of south-east Asia that contains Vietnam] from gaining its independence. So contentious was the conflict that for years afterward the country suffered marches, riots, and even deaths as a result of the turmoil. People who love to read stories that touch on war, history, culture, politics, and perhaps foremost survival, will appreciate You Must Live. Above all, it's a story of human resilience from a country so many Americans died trying to protect. The story has only been told by the American Media and the Communists. Shouldn't the world also have the opportunity to experience the story through the eyes of one member of the South Vietnamese military, America's ally This book is a memoir. It gives personal insight into Vietnam's history, culture, education, military, government, and politics and how they affected my life. During the war years, I sadly lost my father to chronic, treatable diseases because we didn't have money for treatment. My mother, struggling to feed seven small children, was wounded by shrapnel entering our home one night in the crossfire. I experienced a chilling journey collecting my brother-in-law's corpse during the Tet Offensive. Heartbreakingly, I lost my beloved sister as she miscarried due to curfew laws. I faced multiple near-death experiences during the War. I came to America with sixteen cents, handed down from an American soldier. Overcoming the language barrier, I built my home with my own hands and sent my two children to college.
Download or read book Cherries written by John Podlaski and published by John Podlaski. This book was released on 2010-04-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1970, John Kowalski was among the many young, inexperienced soldiers sent to Vietnam to participate in a contentious war. Referred to as “Cherries” by their veteran counterparts, these recruits were plunged into a horrific reality. The on-the-job training was rigorous, yet most of these youths were ill-prepared to handle the severe mental, emotional, and physical demands of combat. Experiencing enemy fire and observing death up close initiates a profound transformation that is irreversible. The author excels at storytelling. Readers affirm feeling immersed alongside the characters, partaking in their struggle for survival, experiencing the fear, awe, drama, and grief, observing acts of courage, and occasionally sharing in their humor. "Cherries" presents an unvarnished account, and upon completion, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the trials these young men faced over a year. It's a narrative that grips the reader throughout.

Johnny F. Pughs Through Smoke-Teared Eyes (iUniverse) is an action-packed and vivid account of one soldiers thoughts and experiences in combat. Written to confront the demons of his past, Pugh recounts the year he spent as an Army rifleman, trapped in the Iron Triangle of the Vietnam War. His accounts of kill zones, mortar attacks and jungle survival are sobering and raise questions about the conflict and all wars." To confront the demons of his past, author Johnny F. Pugh relives the year he spent as an army rifleman battling unseen guerilla fighters in one of the most dangerous places during the Vietnam War, the Iron Triangle. Through his stories and poetry, he shows how it felt to be trapped in a kill zone, enemy bullets just inches from his face, and the mind-numbing terror experienced after being thrown by a land mine explosion while fighting off bloodsucking leeches, vicious mosquitoes, and stifling heat and humidity. Through Smoke-Teared Eyes offers an engaging, sometimes bilingual, account of the close friendship Pugh shared with his fellow squad members, learning from them critical survival skills and his own identity as a Chicano. After witnessing numerous atrocities against the Vietnamese peasants at the hands of the American military, he is forced to question his own role as a participant in this bloody war.

We were average American sons, fathers, husbands, or brothers who'd enlisted or been drafted from all over the United States and who'd all come from different backgrounds. We came together and formed a brotherhood that will last through time. I share my experiences about weeks of boredom and minutes to hours of terror and surviving the heat, carrying a 60-pound rucksack, monsoons, a forest fire, a typhoon, building a firebase, fear, death and fighting the enemy while mentally, physically, and morally exhausted.
