Have you ever wondered what your husband, son, or father experienced on their tour of duty? Steve's account of his tour of duty in Vietnam takes you through his life as a grunt. Drafted into the US Army in 1969, he was one of the lucky ones to have survived the daily struggle of kill or be killed. Unlike the sensational bloody accounts seen on the movie screen, Steve walks you through the emotional catwalk soldiers walk in the line of fire. You will feel him struggle with the moral decisions that are made every day of a soldier's tour. Steve's stories will make you cry; make you laugh; make you agonize along with him during his jungle duty. His words will touch anyone who has personally experienced war. His words will bring compassion and understanding to those who have loved ones that are still struggling with their war experiences.

The United States Army drafted Steve in 1969. Like many young men, he was unaware of the consequences of being drafted until being sent to Vietnam. Although his father was also drafted into the Armed Forces for World War II, nothing could have prepared Steve for the year of duty to come. Growing up in a large family, he developed a talent early on for storytelling. His accounts of Vietnam will have you imagining him sitting across a campfire telling his story.
