SURVIVAL AND SACRIFICE: VIETNAM UNCENSORED
There was no doubt we could not save them all. But by God, we tried. Often, we carried our wounded on our backs under fire, moving them to safety. Once, we hiked over two miles with a man on our shoulders, trading him back and forth until we reached the pick-up zone. You hear the slogan: “Not on my watch!” But that wasn’t how we thought. We had sworn an oath: No man left behind. The safety and return of our brothers represented the bond that tied us, no matter what we faced.
Prayers didn’t reach us, and saints didn’t walk the battlefield. The only ones we could rely on were our brothers. Everyone else was expendable. That became our creed. And there, by the grace of something more, we survived.
Vietnam Uncensored — 365 Days in a Nightmare is a no-holds-barred account of the corrupt politicians who fueled a pointless war and what our unit did to survive amidst the chaos, incompetence, and absurdity of it all.
The memoir is receiving strong praise on Amazon and Goodreads, and the net proceeds go to the Kaufman Fund to help veterans in need. So, pick up a copy, get a damn good read, and support a cause that matters.
