During his final year of college he married his high school sweetheart and one year later was drafted into the US Army. He began a tour of duty as an infantryman in Vietnam in April of 1968. During that significant year in his life he wrote 157 letters to his young wife sharing candid views of his emotions and experiences. Thirty-five years later he decided to publish the collection of letters as a portrayal of life during those very tumultuous times.view less
