As a Vietnam vet, I’ve learned life is full of battles — some we choose, and some are thrust upon us. In the heat of combat, we learned to lean on each other, to never give up, and to push through the hardest days. The jungle was unforgiving, but it taught me a valuable lesson: survival isn’t about brute force. It’s about resilience, adaptability, and the strength to keep going when everything seems lost.

As we head into 2025, remember every challenge — whether personal or professional — is a test of our strength and resolve. The New Year offers a chance to start fresh, but it’s the lessons learned from past experiences that must guide us.

Keep your head up, your heart strong, and your focus clear. Whatever comes your way, you have the power to face it with determination. You will perform what the mind believes.

Thanks for helping to make “Vietnam Uncensored — 365 Days in a Nightmare” a success. You can still order your copy at holiday pricing.

From my heart to yours, I wish you the very best for a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year. — Jerry Glazer
