Many veterans of the Vietnam War have told say they never saw the enemy up close or did not see them at all. As an airborne infantryman, a paratrooper, that did two tours in that unfortunate place, one with the 101st Brigade from 1966-1967 and the other with the 173rd Airborne Brigade from 1971-1972, the author's experiences were indeed different.He offers those experiences to the reader in artistic depictions and written accounts of what transpired at that moment in time, as he remembers them. Most of the sketches were drawn after he left the Army and he managed to hang on to them through the thick and thin of his life. One of the reasons it took him so long to write this book is because he makes no pretense of being a historical writer with dates, places, and the strategies of operations. Those details never concerned him.He drew these artistic accounts because they remind him of experiences, which he considers heavy and unique. He thought that they would never see the light of day, but after much encouragement from other veterans and non-veterans, and favorable results at many public showings, here they are, or resorting to a favorite phrase used in Vietnam to end a conversation “Dere it is!” 3
