Leaving his college deferment behind, this son of a WWII veteran enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1967, to take part in the Vietnam War. He was sent to Officer Candidate School, became a 2nd Lieutenant and in 1969 led an infantry platoon in combat when he was 21. In late 1969, President Nixon began withdrawing troops creating doubt about the successful outcome of the war and when the author returned home he realized his Vietnam service was not respected. He put the war out of his mind, got married and began his career, but after retirement went back to write about his war experiences. Writing brought some closure but also compelled him to join some other Marines in 2019 to return to a mountaintop in western Quang Tri Province to revisit FSB Russell. In so doing he learned some things he had repressed or never knew and gained a truer understanding of the emotional cost of the war.

Nice sweatshirt
Color: White, Size: Small
Really happy with this sweatshirt. The material is soft, warm, and has a nice thickness without feeling bulky—perfect for crisp fall days and layering in winter. The quilted texture and mock neck give it a more polished, upscale look than a regular sweatshirt. Fits true to size, and the color is vibrant and unique. I like the quarter-snap buttons and chest pocket for a little extra style and function. Easy to dress up or down with jeans or boots, and works great for everyday wear or going out. Definitely a solid addition to a fall/winter wardrobe.

Buy it!!! Do not skip on this sweater
Color: Dark Grey, Size: XX-Large
I bought this for my husband to wear if he needed something nicer in the cold weather . But i have wore it more than him because how amazing it is. First off the material is such great quality, it is hard to explain that its thick/ dense but not thick.. the sweater is thin, light and wonderful yet feels thick good quality. It did not shrink when washed, fits wonderfully and color has stayed strong as well. It looks high quality and is an amazing value for the price. No one would know it was not name brand. Do not skip on this sweater.
