30 Days Has September: The First Ten Days

A true-to-life fiction accounting of the Vietnam War

 

From a traveled elementary school education, changing schools ever two years, to attending a small liberal arts college, I graduated to a leadership position that turned out to be a ‘hanging by the fingernails’ survival position in the Marines Corps in the Vietnam War, 1969.  From a hospital bed, when I finally found it was likely I would live, I looked up and asked God for one favor.
