Publisher's Synopsis
They were young men-some had yet to reach the age of twenty by the time they landed in South Vietnam-some in 1967 and others a few months later in 1968. By most accounts, they were just boys who had been sent to a far off land to fight an unpopular war. They served with distinction and came home hardened from the experience and wondering what the hell had happened to their country. There were no homecoming parades, no hero's welcome, and little or no respect for the sacrifice these men made in the service of our country.
They Remember: Fifty Years Later is a story of eight fellow Marines who served together in Vietnam. Not unlike the story of many others who served, Scripts from Vietnam, reveals the scars they incurred as the result of fighting an unpopular war. Indelible memories are still with them, but it is the brotherhood and camaraderie they developed while serving together that is best remembered.
Semper Fi to all who have served!
