'NOT TODAY,' was part of a battle cry of John C. Lafferty’s Marine unit in Vietnam. He could not forget the meaning of this battle cry nor of his comrades left behind. Twelve years after the war he confides in his sister and tells her his story. Then, she realizes the change in him was not because of the horrors of war, but of the courage, sacrifices and the bonding that takes place between comrades in arms. This wasn’t anything she could have guessed nor would she even have been able to understand had he not told her his story. This is when she realizes she wouldn’t want to change him back, even if she could. 'NOT TODAY,' is based on true events from a Vietnam War Vet. The story is narrated by a woman who saw a change in her brother after the war and her diary of conversations with him. The bulk of the story takes place in Vietnam and it covers the politics and the attitudes of people, both in war and after. It is about the real cost of war and the attitudes of one Marine’s heart. All the people and names in the story are fictional, but the characters are as real as the events.
