"Hey Dad, please share your Vietnam experiences?" Naomi's request set into motion a journey 50 years into the past as a "grunt" in the steamy jungles of Vietnam. Four months later with my memoir completed, she asked, "Dad, let's go to Vietnam, just you and me?" Could the ghosts of Vietnam past morph into a father and daughter blessing in the present?

"Jack's book is an honest grunt's view of how it really felt as a soldier, like looking at the ass of a mule you were following, never sure where the trail would end or if your life would end on an unknown trail. Jack's perspective of life as a young man made good points. Reading this book, people won't gloss over the days of Vietnam and forget."
