"This is based on facts, taken first from official Marine Corps radio traffic ... I have covered several areas not normally found in a story. The purpose is to hopefully give the reader a better understanding of what the average grunt went through in Vietnam. Even though I did 3 tours in Viet Nam there were grunts who saw as much combat as I did in one tour ... I served as the S-5 Operations Chief for the 1st Marine Regiment in my last few months in Country."--Page 7.
