註釋This book is not unique, but the people in it are. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Their tales are heartwarming and heartbreaking-personal testimonies of death-defying acts and day to day heroics laced with humor.One such veteran, an Army Ranger, finds himself one of a hundred men on a training base with ten thousand WACs (Women's Army Corps). "You couldn't buy a drink," he says. "Every night was 'Ladies Night.'" A short time later he is assigned to honor-guard burial detail for the returning Vietnam dead, all the while knowing he already has his orders to ship out to 'Nam. Sixty years later, these vets are sharing their personal stories, many for the first time. You are invited to share in their intimacies and their humanity, to better understand this war and what these veterans endured for us and for their country.
