Publisher's Synopsis
This is a screenplay base on the book and personal memoirs, One Four Man Up, by Robert E. Hunt. The screenplay chronicles the thirteen month tour of duty that Bob served in Vietnam in the Marines. Bob's tour of duty saw lots of action with his first encounter with the enemy coming just days after his arrival. Less than a month later he was wounded in action. Bob served as a tactical air control man, commonly referred to as the "One Four Man" taken from his radio call sign. It was his job to control anything that flew in support of his Marine unit. Upon his return home from combat duty, Bob began having recurring nightmares that lasted for 20 years. He found that the world had changed and it wasn't good to be a Vietnam veteran. He was rejected and scorned for his service, but in 1988 he marched in a parade in Washington, DC with other Vietnam veterans. It was the 4th of July, and Bob finally got the welcome home parade he so desperately needed.
