Orphans of Honor
by Terry
Bender
At a time when our media, universities and movie moguls were plotting new ways to bring down the next two American presidencies, some 18 and 19 year old American kids suddenly became expendable to the personal agendas of moguls and presidents alike. This book is not your designer Hollywood-crybaby confessional designed to malign those who fought and died in an "immoral war". Orphans of Honor is a real story that spans the course of three combat commands and portrays the bravery and honor of America's young men ordered to fight in those commands. Young men who took a green lieutenant under their wing where they learned together how to repeatedly beat a cunning and well-equipped enemy in their own backyard. Young men who, during the most deadly years of fighting in Vietnam, lost only one man to enemy rifle fire. Though many still profit from their condemnation, those abandoned Americans were never Orphans of Honor.

LZ Bingo
by Reid F. Tillery
In the summer of 1967 20-year-old William K. Boe entered the Vietnam war, joining Delta Company, 1/14th Infantry. Twice wounded during his one-year tour of duty, he endured some of the war's hottest moments, including the Tet offensive. He served honorably, facing an onslaught of bullets, mortars, rockets, hand grenades, and land mines. Through Bill's account, the reader gains a vicarious understanding of the day-to-day life and challenges of an American infantryman in Vietnam. This book's primary purpose is to honor those who made it home and those who did not by telling their story through Bill's eyes and ears. Written in the form of a novel, what makes Bill's true story so compelling is that his experiences likely are similar to those of many other men who served in the infantry in Vietnam. If you served in Vietnam in the infantry, Bill's story will likely bring back vivid memories. If you didn't serve, and if you have a friend who's a Vietnam infantry vet, you'll look at him differently after reading Bill's story. You'll come away with a deeper understanding of the challenges and hardships he faced. About The Author Reid F. Tillery is an avid outdoorsman who loves to write. He's an Emergency Medical Technician, a licensed ham radio operator, a land-navigation instructor, a former Search and Rescue Technician, and a former medic in the Army National Guard and Reserves. In addition to LZ Bingo, he has written books on wilderness survival and land navigation. |
