Description
After 50 years of keeping his memories at bay, Robert W. Smith shares his harrowing experiences of the Vietnam War in a deeply personal and moving account. This memoir weaves together over 130 letters and photographs he sent to his family during his 15-month tour of duty in 1967 and 1968, creating a powerful and relatable story that shines a light on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual hardships faced by those who served. Smith's story is one of courage and resilience, as he confronts the traumas of his past and opens up about the struggles he continues to face today. Through his writing, he invites readers to join him on a journey that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The proceeds from this book will support a 501(c)3 organization in New England that helps veterans adjust to civilian life, making every purchase a meaningful contribution to their healing journey.
