If you could create a book that tells the real story of the Vietnam War, what would be your STORY?
I would tell the story of having a brother in law come home without legs. I would tell how 25 boys from my high school went to war and 5 didn't come home alive. Even more came home without all the body parts that they left with. I would tell how relatives and friends were drafted, served bravely even though it wasn't their choice to go, and then came home to be treated like garbage by war protestors. I would tell of spending my entire childhood watching war coverage on the news every night during dinner. I would tell of watching my sister go off to VN as an Army nurse, newly graduated, proud....and coming home forever changed, never again the same person. I would tell the story of my brother breaking his back jumping out of a plane.
