The author, a marine combat corpsman (medic) spent a year as a grunt corpsman serving in the bush in Vietnam. He also served with the Marines in Beirut, Lebanon. Some of the poems are about this service. This book gives you a different way of seeing Vietnam veterans. This is not a collection of war poems. It is a collection of mixed poems from watching dolphins to combat operations, the author having a loaded rifle being pointed at him just inches from his face. It also contains two short stories of two experiences in Vietnam. Written by the Author during his time in Military Service in 1967, through 1991. This is an incomplete selection of the authors’ poetry work. The selections represent time in Vietnam, Beirut, Lebanon, and of various people encountered, as well as personal reflections of life and events. Some reflecting very intense emotional events, while others reflect a light humor. Many are a rhyming story line type of writing; while a couple are just plain written thoughts. Overall, this book points to various ways of seeing people and life. This book will give you something to talk about with your co-workers, friends, and family. You will have many thoughtful moments after reading this mix of joy and sadness.
