Book excerpt: "This book is the true story of what i[t] was like being a product of the Baby Boom, growing up in a fast-changing world, and being a small spoke in the big green wheel of a very unpopular war. It's also about surviving the war, only to return to a country full of anti-war sentiment and great disdain for its own young men that they had sent off to war. These are the memoirs of a man who has answered his country's call, served in the jungles, rice paddies, and rubber plantations of South Vietnam...I walk you through my military career. From receiving my draft notice, through...finally being discharged after two years of service. I continue...sharing with you what it was like coming back to civilian life, trying to find work, taking advantage of the GI Bill, and always dealing with the stigma of Vietnam." --Author's Introduction.
