Page 8 - Stand Down Vietnam

DEDICATION

To all those who fought for freedom; are presently
fighting, and those struggling to understand:

I was encouraged by two special people: First and
foremost; my wife Lin, without her trust, love,
dedication to the cause, understanding, and devotion,

this book would never have come to be. Thanks for all
you do to help make my life relevant.

My son Jason provided the technical knowledge, software
tools, training, patience, and endurance for me to
complete this book.

There are so many “others” who contributed to my life’s
education and well-being; it would be futile to attempt
written acknowledgment of all of them. I hope I
expressed my appreciation each time they made my life
better.

As with my other writings, I dedicate these words to
all Veterans and their families.

Stand Down Vietnam - Ghosts from the Past was written
by a Veteran, about Veterans - long-held stories,
finally told, in their own words. These exposés are
personal, humbling, and enlightening.

This book is a fact-based, historical, and informative
exposition based on individual perspectives of the
Vietnam War era and personal accounts of the events.

The principal intent was to provide our Veterans with
an opportunity to share their stories with their
families and to educate the reader.
