Hill started his journey to become an infantry platoon commander in Vietnam. His wife, Diana, saved every letter he wrote from the battlefield. After 45 years he decided to review his letters, which describe leading a platoon of Marines in combat through the bush of Vietnam. Powerful memories coupled with the seasoning of time inspired him to write this memoir. The aftermath of Vietnam does not remain on the battlefield. It does not impact only the soldier. We bring it home and live with it. The price of war is paid by the soldier, his family and his friends. That is Frank's story.
Following the war, Frank and Diana returned to their home state, Colorado. They settled in Parker, a tight-knit rural community with rodeos, horses and dirt roads. A successful career in computer systems development gave them the freedom to raise a comfortable American family with two children.vizualizați mai puține
