More Info

These are the recollections of a draftee assigned to an infantry platoon in an air cavalry troop. BlueGhost Reveille follows me as a twenty–two–year–old as I became a squad leader and then Platoon Sergeant during the war in Vietnam.The pieces of this book are as factual as fifty–year–old memories will allow. There is no intentional fiction in this work. The stories are about everyday life during this year in a combat unit. Some pieces are mundane, some are humorous, and the parts about going to serious war will get your heart up in your throat.I was not a Seal, Ranger or Green Beret. I was a draftee who turned down OCS because that would have meant extending my service by a year. I was chosen to go to NCO school which made me an instant NCO or a "shake & bake" sergeant.Reluctant warrior may have described many of us draftees at the time but when you know you are going to war, you better get serious. I did.Friends and family who have read this manuscript say it feels like I am sitting there telling them these stories.I hope it feels that way for you.
